[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just went through a k-8. Early years were mixed. Strong when teachers were consistent, weak when their were blips which all schools have.  Covid made things hard for all. 
Every classmate who just graduated is having a 
difficult go at it, specially socially. Our new school does a decent job at creating opportunities to mix in the "new kids" but there have been many weeks where my kid does not have weekend social plans.  Kids need that kind of independence.  The 9th graders who have been in the school have an easier go at 9th grade dynamics. I regret not pulling earlier. Also, our school had a very small 8th grade class which is not an ideal thing for that age group.  [/quote]

My teen is now in a 150 person 9th grade from a k-8 with less than 50. She found her new group easily and does not associate with any of the kids from her k-8 that also are at her school. She did not have a difficult social transition and was thrilled to expand her friend groups and have a grade large enough that drama doesnt impact the entire class. [/quote]
