I find it hard to believe that schools counsel out kids regularly.  It would make the school look bad and the admissions department look bad too.  These kids are screened so hard before entering it is unlikely they woould be wrong about so many kids.  If there is a school that regularly does this then that school is f-------d up! [b]It is damaging to kids down the line to move schools abrubtly for no apparent reason[/b] like a move for a new job.  For many kids, especially those whose option after leaving a private school would be entering a school that mauch larger,or a  failing school in a rough area this would be too much for them.  You can't put kids in a bubble then just take them out.  That just seems wrong.[/quote]

I would assume this is seldom done abruptly.  If, over the course of 2-4 years, the teacher reports (report cards) are indicating issues, and the parents and school try to address it unsuccessfully, then it is probably clear that it isn't a good fit.  It isn't like anyone, including the students, are blindsided by this.
