I'm considering applying for private school. My son is currently in 5th grade in public in D3 and I am worried about public middle school admission. We would wouldn't be able to afford private school without financial aid so I assume it would be hard to get a spot. He has a December birthday and I am wondering whether it would increase his changes of getting admitted if he would apply for 5th grade instead of 6th grade. Anyone has any experience with this?
Middle school in private schools starts in 5th grade anyway.
It varies by school.
