[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both absolutely despised our large public middle schools. We both decided we would never send our kids to one. When I researched what was the best configuration for grades 6-8, students who were in k-8 schools had better self-esteem / positive self-perception than students in a a stand alone 6-8 school. We moved our kids when the oldest was in 5th and he did 5-8 in.a private school and our youngest did 4-8. Then they went back to public high school. It worked out well and they loved their middle school experience. Now both are doing well in public high school. They were a year behind in math from their cohort from their public school who took algebra in 7th since their school waits until 8th for algebra, but they both took online geometry classes to catch up to be in Algebra 2 H in 9th grade.
