[quote=Anonymous]Do what's best for you and know your kid. If your kid is pretty adaptable then you may consider moving in 5th to secure a spot in the middle school feeder -- if you are want to stay on the Hill. That being said (if you are at Brent), I know a lot of kids from Brent who got into SH for 6th grade (initially or off the wait list) from 5th. More Brent families are going to SH, which is great for the school. As a Brent family we know a handful of kids who got into a charter for 5th and ended up leaving (to avoid the dreaded Upper School model). I think this trend will continue until Brent stops the Upper School model -- more Brent families want to stay for 5th but feel pushed out due to the poor social and academic factors for the students. Regardless, the families that left just for 5th grade overall (this school year and last) have mixed feelings if they would do it again or not. [/quote]
