[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always love when K-8s post where their kids got into high school and there's one or two that are like South Lakes High School or Falls Church High School. Sounds like you got a great bang for your buck, parents, LOL![/quote]
There are definitely people who out there kids in private for ES/MS with the specific intention of moving them to public for HS.

When our child was diagnosed with dyslexia, we asked the psychologist whether, if we only had enough money to do private for 5-8 or 9-12, which we should do, she was absolutely adamant that the groundwork in ES/MS would be critical to our child’s academic success and that by HS, DC would likely not need the extra supports, and to go private for 5-8. As it’s turned out, we’ve gotten aid and are able to stay in private, but our initial plan was to switch to public for HS. That’s just one example. We have friends who were zoned to a MS with real problems and went private for MS then back to public, because their public HS was good.

Just like their are folks who choose private for HS and aren’t gunning for HYP or T20 colleges to the utter disbelief of the typical private crowd, there are folks who go private for earlier grades and switch to public because that’s the better choice for their family, not because their kid or their private school were failures.

All of this. A lot if people do K-8 for the foundational years and intend from the beginning to do public. The original post is SO snotty. [/quote]
