Anyone have experiences to share about switching from private to public, especially for MS or HS? What was it like for your kid? How did admissions work?
We switched to our zoned public after 3rd grade and could kick ourselves that we didn't do it sooner. DD had to put in some solid effort to catch up with her new classmates, but she was fine with it. Switching for MS or HS is probably a better idea, though, since all of the kids will be starting a new school at the same time.

Catch up academically or socially? Generally, I think the earlier/younger you move DC between schools, the better.
