[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]gds lower school's location, start time and lack of lunch were a deterrent for us. Sidwell's lower school location was also a deterrent. Logistics would have been too complicated. Likely would have applied to both if they were located with their upper schools. I realize many are willing to make those sacrifices, but many aren't.  Point is that the moves will increase the number of applicants to both. This is inevitably going to hurt k-8s. People will want k-12, cheaper privates or even publics. An increasingly expensive k-8 becomes a tough sell. In most cases, the facilities won't be able to compete with k-12. And in all cases, the k-12 (which may indeed be an inferior model) will remain desirable because of the guarantee of a top high school. [/quote]

Lack of lunch is why you wouldn't pick a school.  I get location, start time and cost, but lunch?? [b] Distance is a huge deterrent for us as we've done the private school commute the early years and its hard with friends/getting together and after hours activities.[/b][/quote]

This was tough, we did not enroll our second child and eventually pulled the first one once she mainly had friends via club sport.

That said, we noticed many families move close to the K-12 to minimize the crazy driving kids around. [/quote]
