[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think leaving a K-8 early has often more to do with where the child wants to go to high school. If it's a very competitive school that has younger grades, it makes sense to apply earlier than for 9th grade, like for 7th and 8th grade.[/quote] My DC wanted to go to a competitive HS but when we toured at an earlier date (to consider MS), they discovered that they liked their k-8 MS better than the other schools (especially early MS 5th/6th). There were some things they liked about the other schools but none of them were better enough to make it worth leaving their current school early. They stayed through 8th and were later accepted to all the selective HS's they were interested in attending - no need to leave early. Best of both worlds.[/quote]
