[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who sent their child to Barnesville and is extremely happy with it. From her description, it sounds like a lovely school. Her son has since graduated from the school and had a wonderful time there.

But - her child is a little quirky  and he would not have done well in a public school. He needed the small class sizes. He needed the extra attention. Small class sizes they are - she said they had less than 10 kids in the class.

I just think an environment like that would have been extremely stifling for my child especially as they move into older grades. Looking back on my child's elementary years, I don't think those small classes would have markedly improved where she currently is.

So if she's a normal kid without any issues, start with your public school. If she is struggling, then move her to Barnesville. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks! This is helpful. Everyone we’ve spoken with about Barnesville has said it’s a great school. We do worry it would be too small, as our daughter is very outgoing and thrives in places with lots of different people. The curriculum looks great, though.

This thread has been helpful. We will keep talking to friends and neighbors, but it might make sense to start her out in public K and just take it year by year.[/quote]
