[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you may want to consider, too, entry points and continuation. The private school population in the area has grown, and competition for spots at the best schools are fierce.

I absolutely loved Lowell and Sheridan is great, too, from many of the friends I’ve talked to who’ve sent kids there. But, entry to the elite high schools at grade 9 is tough. About 10% or under admissions rates.

It’s easier to get in at younger ages, so if you’re sure you want a private HS, you may want to get your kids into a school by grade 3 or 4, rather than waiting until grade 7 or grade 9.

Good luck! You sound like a thoughtful, caring parent and that is actually one of the most important factors for a child’s long-term success.[/quote]

The thing I love about K-8 is that the school choice is primarily about what the kid wants, rather than the parent making the decision when the child is young. Plus, is gives them a trial run at applying for college, which doesn’t have the option of getting in a few years early. [/quote]

That's a good point - I get there is a balance in trying to get into your forever school early when it's easier vs. finding the best fit for elementary ages and then letting the kids choose and try later. [/quote]
