[quote=Anonymous]Our kids started in our MoCo elementary, and developed friends in the neighborhood. We switched into private school at 6th grade for middle school and chose it over a magnet/GT program. Our DC is quiet,shy and did get lost and overwhelmed in the elementary school, esp. in the later elementary school years. Private school was a great fit for DC- with small classes, mandatory sports participation, and a culture of self-advocacy. Our second DC also followed that path and went to a private school at 6th grade. This child would have done well at our MoCo public school, as DC's school feels too small. Having the friendships from public school has been a lifesaver through middle school. in terms of education, I don't think my kids were missing out by going to a public elementary school. [/quote]
