+2 also for people planning to go private, they tend to be quiet about it because people who stay don’t need to hear about how the school they’ll attend isn’t good enough for you. And privates are outrageous $$$. It’s not an option for alot do people so I don’t mention it’s our plan, because I am aware having the option to leave is a privilege.

But I also don’t boost our MS and am vocal about concerns and am working to make the school better.  It has a lot of good parts but the parts I prioritize for MS, it lacks. [/quote]

We are on the Hill and went private for K to get a spot now - this is a privilege. Having now been at our private with a better understanding of admissions I can see that demand far outstrips supply: the number of spaces at the top privates has not increased and competition is tough. I've talked to a lot of parents who plan on moving to private for middle or high school - the challenge is that there are just not enough spots for all the people who say this is their plan. So even if you're comfortable with the money and commute and decide to move to the Hill OP, you may not have the option. [/quote]
