When DO you change schools?
Families change school placement when they have found another learning environment with a better "fit" for their child's current needs.

This is what we did when DS was in 2nd. We worked with our local school to get a grade skip, and when that wasn't enough, we worked and worked to try to get a better fit. But then an opening popped up in a better-fit school, and we transferred our kiddo midyear. We are making another switch now (6th) because the school-within-a-school program ends, and we didn't feel the district's middle school programming would work well for our DS10. We toured 4 schools and we all liked a new STEAM/experiential learning school best, despite zero GT programming. We'll find out soon if we made a good choice!

Like others, I recommend touring the other options. Ask questions about the things you really want for your DD.
