[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I really want to ask why you care, but I guess I already know the answer....

Anyway, people don't leave after 3rd grade because of "test scores", they leave to get their kids in a better feed pattern for middle and high school. The longer you wait to move, the less chance you have to lottery in somewhere.[/quote]

+1. This is exactly right. You leave because of “test scores” in kindergarten or first. If you stick around until third, you’re fine with the school. You leave because you have concerns over middle school.[/quote]

Yep yep 1000 times this. I am heartbroken at the thought of pulling my kid out of our Ward 5 school and I'd happily keep them there the whole time, but I just can't deal with the prospect of trying my luck at the MS lottery. We might just end up staying through 5th and then moving, honestly, because I don't want to play this lottery game.

But it's misguided to think.people are leaving because the quality declines or test scores or anything like that. [/quote]
