[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would move my kid from [u]a school[/u] because of horrible bulling that the school didn't addressed, yes.  If it were 7th or 8th though I might wait until 9th because all schools change a great deal when you move to upper school (speaking from experience several times over).  If you are specifying a private because you can only switch to public (no openings at private) then I agree that makes the decision much more difficult.  It would really depend on how good the pubic was and how long she would be there before the next private school admission cycle.  Its a very personal decision with lots of subjective criteria.[/quote]
This is OP again. Right now we are zoned to Potomac elementary, but I literally would move to anywhere to put her in a school she wasn’t made to feel sad or like she is friendless. Maybe we give the school one more year and if it’s not better by late fall we apply elsewhere or go to public. [/quote]

She feels sad and friendless after at least almost a year at this school?  And you're not happy with the curriculum? Why in the world would you want her to stick it out another year? [/quote]

This. We just pulled out our second grader from a small private school 2 months before summer. She was emotionally suffering everyday and showing signs of depression. It was the right decision. I cannot imagine what damage another year of such a toxic environment might have done. Wishing you and your DD the best![/quote]
