[quote=Anonymous]There is not one right decision or view here-it’s very depdendant on the kid. We started at a K-8 and it’s exactly what our kids needed at the time-a smaller environment that focused on early years and a more nurturing environment. However, after a few years it was clear that both kids had outgrown it...and to be honest as a parent I had too-there is so much more parent involvement and influence in the k-8 model-though to be fair, parents in the lower school of k-12 are more involved than upper school parents. We ended up applying out early and am very happy we did. My older child is very happy and thriving at her current school-she is in 8th grade and sees her former cohort in the application process and is very glad she isn’t dealing with it in such a public way. 9th grade admissions is so much more competitive and I am sure the k-8!school would have been pushing a different school for her.
