We switched schools this year, from a small arts charter to a gifted magnet. We actually gave DD the final call, as we were incredibly torn on what to do. She made a pro/con list and chose the magnet. I do think she knew that we were more inclined to switch than not, but she is an independent little cuss and I don't know that it influenced her. She has some nostalgia for her old school and some frustration that the new one isn't more challenging in some areas, but overall she seems to be very happy with the switch. The work is well within or below her abilities at the new school, but we do find the homework load heavy.
