[quote=Anonymous]Have had 2 kids go from same private k-8 to different private 9th that started earlier. Academic transitions were fine. Grades are 1/2 a grade lower than in 8th (ie A in 8th, A- in 9th). Socially the kid that transitioned into a larger grade had an easier time than the one who transitioned into a smaller grade. The school with the larger grade took more new kids and made a bigger effort to integrate the new students through fun events. The smaller school relied on sports to welcome in new students which is tough for the non-sporty kid. [/quote]
