[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a hot take for you all - 9th grade is a very very hard time to enter a school that does not start in 9th grade. So do your kids a favor and switch them at literally any point prior to 9th grade OR send them to a school that starts in 9th - those are all Catholic or boarding around here. [/quote]

My children did just fine entering in 9th at pk-12 schools. It can be an adjustment, though, even for those with outgoing personalities.  One of my DC's found a group immediately through Fall sport and orientation.  The other also found some core friends in their Fall sport but had a longer adjustment before expanding into a larger group (that included the early core friends too) - to be fair - COVID shutdown likely affected this child's journey.

Highly recommend getting involved in something that starts immediately - like Fall sport, robotics, debate, theater.  Child should go to summer orientation programming offered by the school and to as many welcome events before school starts or early in school year.[/quote]
