[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP who said you should consider public. If he’s at a small private and hasn’t clicked with anyone, it may be because he just hasn’t found his people. A larger public may give him more social opportunities and more kids to widen his pool of opportunity to meet kids he clicks with.[/quote]

OP here. He was at a small private - think one class per grade from 1st-3rd grade. We moved for a few reasons but one was to give him more social opportunities. While that didn't exactly happen, he is far more engaged in the community (participates in lots of things from sports to music to tech) and does better with the more challenging academics. His private now is 'bigger' - like 4 classes per grade but classes still small. I could see him benefiting from public socially but academically he seems to really benefit from the private environment. Tough call. We are not rich so private is a major financial sacrifice that we do to help him succeed. We do have other kids all at public. [/quote]
