[quote=Anonymous]K-3 public is typically alright most places.  Entry years always in 6/9th grades so I would say getting in at 4ty is not always easy.  It's hard to say OP.  Our public was also amazing but once 4th hit, when kids get older, the class can change from cute nice little ones to out of control kids with teachers who don't know what they're doing if there's too many in a room together.  We had to move our kids at 4th to private and have been so much happier.  The other thing is your kid may be diagnosed with learning disabilities that do not show up till 2/3/4th grades and you have to then be prepared your school is capable of supporting those.  My point is you have no idea how things may evolve so that maybe now does look great but in a few years you may want options.

It's a hard thing depending on your situation because the pros outweigh cons for public today of course.  Maybe have a heart to heart with your DH and lay out options that you'll have should Private be needed later but unless he wants to be taxi driver with you, opt for public at least till 3rd?

He's not wrong about getting in but it depends a lot on your options.  You should also research not just what your school seems like but in the later grades what they offer. Most people aren't going to have prob with K, 1 or 2nd grades - but in 4th and 5th - why do you think people move to privates starting then?[/quote]
