[quote=Anonymous]We started in private, switched to public during covid and are contemplating a switch back to private for middle school. The highly rated public school we have is fine, but the private has fantastic facilities and a more robust selection of athletics and extracurriculars. Tuition will not detract from savings/lifestyle. Ironically, there is more diversity at the local private schools than at our well regarded public. Quite frankly, ES until around 3rd grade is pretty much just playtime, so I would go public to start, get to know some of the neighborhood kids and reassess a switch in the next few years. We weren’t going to explore private school again until HS. But the more I thought about it I came to think MS is a low stakes time to try a new environment and get a sense of whether the private school experience is truly a better fit versus a well polished package from a clever marketing department.
