I feel a big reason she wants to go to the larger school is because her best friends is going there and a lots of kids from the neighborhood-so less change. She does not like change. smaller classes, less distractions, more opportunities (sports, clubs, travel). Just seems like such a supportive, caring environment which I think she would thrive off of and help raise her self esteem.


Is changing to a school where she knows no one going to be hard on her self-esteem?


No. Kids and students change schools or relocate all the time. It’s the parents who hem and haw.

Is this going to a 9-12 school or k-12 situation? Either way there are big intakes for 9th grade and a mixing bowl of choosing new interests and teams. You don’t have to copy your PK buddy once you’re in 6th grade onward.
