[quote=Anonymous][quote]We did the K-8 for our children and while we had a great experience the HS search was more involved than I ever anticipated and it overshadowed the whole K-8 experience. I don’t regret having chosen the K-8. However, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I wouldn’t choose it again. Lesson learned for my next life.

You must have misspoken. There is no way that the brief process of applying to high school during Oct-Dec of the 8th grade year overshadows the experience of the entire preceding 8 years (kindergarten, first, second grade, etc).

Not Sheridan but I share the pp’s views. If you end up with crappy HS options its easy to start to question what the point of it all was. Because you start to wonder what else the school told you that you shouldn’t have believed.[/quote]

That's not what the PP actually said though.  PP said "the HS[b] search[/b]" … "overshadowed the whole k-8 experience."

It seems unkind to call any of the local high schools "crappy."  Even schools we'd never choose for the particular profile our our kids do have their clear merits.  Also, some parents think that the kids' day-to-day experience during the preceding 8.5 years is the point, or at least more important than the decisions that arrive on March 6.
