[quote=Anonymous]My kids went from a tiny school (40 in the whole school) to a large elementary (900 kids total). They are younger-one is 6th grade, so I know a little different, but my kids say their new school is so much fun as they have so many friends. The small school did teach them a lot of social skills I think-they all had to get on and play together as there was no choice! Everyone was in the play, on the sports teams, nobody left out for the most part at recess. They now know how to fit in with all types of kids. However, as I said, they are so much happier now with the larger choice and have really found their groups and are enjoying all the noise and activity of a large school. 
So I am definitely in the move him camp-I hope it goes well!
Oh and I had experience a few years back with a private school that I moved the older one from-I managed to negotiate only 50% back from the contract. That was a messy situation but I moved that child because of social reasons too. It turned out there were only going to be 6 kids in his class and the other 5 were girls. I wished I had known that before signing the contract... We move a lot (husband's job) so have had a few school changes.[/quote]
