[quote=Anonymous]I find it highly doubtful that OP moves here, starts her kid in private for 8th, and then moves her to TC. That's a night and day jump.  If you care enough about your kids education and have enough money to move here and not start them at Hammond, then you will never be able to pull the trigger and move them into TC. And a kid who is happy and doing well in private is going to have a rough transition to TC.

Yes-  I know there is someone out there who moved there kid from private MS to TC and kid was happy and thrived and passed 36 APs and was admtted to every single Ivy and has since been shortlisted for the Nobel Prize. But here, in the real world, that is not an attractive that is not a transition you would want a kid to make unless there are no other options. You would at least start your kid at Hammond, so they are not going from a cocoon to Teen Mom and gangs.  And so they hopefully at least transition with a nice peer group.

Prediction: OP's DD sticks out her private through HS.  Or goes to whatever HS her MS peer group applies to. [/quote]
