[quote=Anonymous]Our DS was in a small private (one class per grade) in 1st and 2nd grade.  It was a social nightmare for him as he couldn't break into the circles of friends.  We pulled him out for third grade and he flourished socially and academically.  Luckily we live in a very strong public school district.  He is in high school now, and we made the switch to private for both social and academic reasons.  Although our public HS is a top school in the region, we don't like the culture there.  The new private is much larger, and he has made lots of friends already.  I think the most important thing is to give your son more options to make friends.  A small private is very limiting.  I know that if we had let him stay in that school, he would have become depressed and withdrawn.

OP, can you look at the possibility of moving to a better school district?  I know that can be pricey, but so is private school.  If private is important to you, you could always try moving him back in high school, where the student body tends to be larger.
