[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the Parochial schools I am familiar in the west of Montgomery County, the overwhelming majority of kids go onto Catholic high schools including Good Counsel, St Johns, Gonzaga, Prep, Stone Ridge, Visitation, Holy Cross, etc., etc.

All though the eighth grade year, there is conversation and excitement among the kids and parents  concerning who will go to which of these schools.

A small fraction of kids go to the public schools. Sometime the reasons for this is financial, sometimes it’s academics and sometimes it’s family preference. I’ve wondered if it’s difficult for these kids with all their friends going in a different direction.[/quote]

Well - OP - sounds like you won't want to go the parochial school route.  Our K-8 on the other hand has a mix and does a really great job at managing the 8th grade frenzy to be supportive and thoughtful to all students...whether it be a choice to go public, an end result of public because they prefer it after getting the decisions on private admissions, or end up at a private that was not the one they had hoped. It's a hard process on many levels but I appreciate that they do their best to keep the students supportive of one another and don't have them talking about 9th grade to the point that it ruins the year.[/quote]
