[quote=Anonymous]Growing up and attending a private K-12 (ok, another experience from the past but it still seems to be the case based on what I hear) far more people came to the private from a public school as the years went by than started at the private and switched to public. Big intakes in 6th and 9th grade. The ones who left early mostly did so for relocation reasons or transferred to another private. Very few left to go to a public school.

My personal preference is as good as a public elementary school as possible then private for high school (middle school too if possible). My reasoning for this is that in the early years the child is still heavily influenced by what goes on at home and his parents. In high school, the school influence starts to replace the parents (fellow students in particular). Private schools have a much better quality control when it comes to students.

Having said all the above, I am completely open to both public and private and we will see what happens and where we live and local zoned schools versus our child's individual needs. Not ruling anything out. [/quote]
