I will be watching this thread as we are in a similar circumstance. My DD (10) has been attending a private school for gifted kids since the 1st grade. Next year she will be starting middle school where in her current school, she would move to a new campus. I toured the public middle school and was very impressed. My expectations were low so the fact I came out impressed really shocked me. Now I am torn as to where she should go next year. We are very happy with her current school but it is very expensive. She states she wants to stay at her current school but I do need to tease out her reasons more than her friends and familiarity. Decisons Decisions....
