[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a lot of value to a good private school in the early years, but don't underestimate how hard it is to leave. A good school might be good all the way up, and once your child has friends and you are used to the community, it's hard to make a switch and go to a bigger school or system. Not impossible but once you're on the train you tend to stay on.[/quote] We solved this by choosing a K-8 independent school. Everyone moved on to different high schools , about 1/3 of the kids went to public high schools. There are good K-6 schools and K-3 schools too. In our case the kids had changed so much between age 4 and 14 that it was nice to have a reason to really think about what type of school made the most sense for HS. [/quote]
