[quote=Anonymous]My DCs went to a k-8 and it was a great choice for one, maybe not as good for the other because of the relatively small size of the school. Both applied out for 9th and while it was a little stressful it wasn't that big a deal because we live in an excellent public school cluster so had a built in back up, and one of my DCs preferred our public school to private options and went there. I think transitioning to a new school in 9th was a big plus for both my DCs. They maintained friendships from the K-8 but were able to start fresh. As a bonus the applying out process was good prep for college applications and my DCs had more appreciation for ECs, SATs, etc because they'd been through a version of the process already.[/quote]
