[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would have stayed had we won the ATS lottery. We switched to private as the backup when we did not get an ATS offer. Overall, we are happy with the outcome, but likely also would have been happy at ATS. [/quote] Similar but for middle school lottery. Going from ATS to our zoned middle school was not an option so we opted for private MS and back to public for HS. [/quote] OP here. What made you switch back to public for HS? Was it worth doing private for just MS?[/quote] quoted poster answering your question. My kid would have gotten lost in the zoned MS at the time. I sent kid to a small independent school that focused on executive functioning and love of learning. From the start they wanted to return to zoned public high school. I was fully prepared to go back to private after a semester but my child is doing fantastic! Great support at the school. My child is amazingly self-sufficient and motivated. The 3 years of private was worth every cent to me. I would have put kid 2 in private too but they chose public and are thriving. Different kids, different choices and I'm fortunate to be able to afford them.[/quote]
