[quote=Anonymous]Tried public for 2 years and then transitioned to private. Absolutely do not regret trying public. It really depends on the kid. Our child was in a class of nearly 30 and we decided to make the move to private as our middle school feeder was not particularly strong. In working with new families at my child's private school, the transition either before or during the middle school years provides parents with the opportunity to meet more members of the community. Parents are more involved and academics are not as consuming, thereby giving space for the child and parent to understand the expectations and engage in the community. If you have a good public, try it and see. There are many benefits to a neighborhood school versus private. [/quote]
