[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like that you get a chance to find the right HS fit for kids rather than guessing the right fit for your 4- or 5-year old. I totally get the appeal of people wanting a k-12 to reduce uncertainty. Without the fear factor (of potentially not getting into a top high school, parents would actually be foolish not to see that k-8 is probably in their kids' best interest from both a pedagogical and social/emotional perspective. Too many parents are actually doing a disservice by making decisions either based out of fear or out of some misguided desire for status. [/quote] But if it’s not the right fit, you can always apply out, and people do all the time. You’re not actually obligated to attend the high school if you attend the lower in middle school. You’re just starting your applications from the place of having one sure thing. That is attractive![/quote]
