[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son is in lower school and we are seeing this to, To the prior poster, would you share what grade (or range of grades?)? I wonder whether it is his grade in particular (certain grades do tend to be more cliquey);  or maybe it is something that happens in a certain grade and then changes over time? [/quote]

Lower school [/quote]

Is someone willing to say which Form(s) aren't friendly? We are applying and I'd really like to know. We are leaving a K-8 with a similar issue and I'm very concerned about this issue. [/quote]

If your son is applying for 9th, I wouldnt worry about it.  9th is a game changer - the entire class dynamics shift tremendously by half way through that year with the influx of boys and the additon of dormers and frankly, the slight calming of pubescent hormones.

If your son is applying for 7th (leaving his K-8 early), I would say do it regardless of that class (2023) - a class I only know a little bit about but all good.  Boys who start in 7th have an advantage academically - time to adjust and its a big adjustment - over those who come in 9th.  I say this as the mom of a current STA student who came from a local K-8.[/quote]

Even though you say all good about 2023, is there something about that class that is on point with the PP's post?[/quote]
