[quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a very small school, one 16-person class per grade. It has been amazing for her, absolutely the right choice. But there are kids it wouldn’t suit, and there are definitely both trade-offs and risks. Her class gets along well; she has a few close friends, and friendly-but not-close relationships with the rest. But I’ve talked to parents whose kids left the school because they didn’t find their people. These were not particularly socially awkward kids, and they all seem to be thriving in larger environments. With sixteen kids, it’s just a gamble whether they end up clicking, both individually and as a group. That said, the strong school community and ability for the whole staff to get to know every student are real benefits. [/quote]
