[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't like your grade, it's a tough school to be at.  Each grade is really small..... [/quote]

We are considering private school FOR the smaller environment where people hopefully would support and care about your DC. Have struggled in large public school. How small is too small?[/quote]
How small is too small really depends on your kid and the cohort, and also to a degree the age/grade. My kid was in a k-8 with a small class of about 25 kids from 5th through 8th (fluctuated a little, but those were also covid years; graduating 8th grade was 24 I think; the largest it got was 29). That was fine for DC, but could have been stifling for a more social kid or lonely for a kid who didn’t click well with at least a few other kids. It was also a small grade even for that school, which aims for 32-35 kids per grade.

FWIW, DC’s HS now has about 120 kids per grade which seems to be a great number - big enough for the school to offer a good variety of classes and activities and for everyone to find their group, but not overwhelmingly large. [/quote]
