[quote=Anonymous]This is a thread highlighting a “grass is always greener” dynamic. Terminal 8s may well have social emotional developmental benefits because of the sole focus being on primary and middle school years. K-12 May dedicate greater resources per child at the HS level, but neither of these mean the younger years get the shaft or are disadvantaged in a K-12 bs a K-8. That is ludicrous. We have some exceptional terminal 8s as well as lower school programs in area K-12 schools.

The one point I do think may be valid is that different profile of families actively choose terminal 8s vs K-12. For the most part, those who choose K-12 are committed to private for the duration. In terminal 8s there are many families actively choosing a terminal 8 fully intending to go into the public system @ HS.  Some of the best known area terminal 8s send 1/4 to half of their graduating classes to public. It leads to a more diverse perspective among the families, which many appreciate.

When you are new to any private school community you explore all of your options, apply where you think there is a strong fit, and assess paths based on admissions offers.  [/quote]
