I know every school is different, but we moved mid-April which turned out great. They tested DD and put her in the gifted classroom for the following year. We had so many frustration about the old school, so change was necessary. The teacher DD had from mid-April until the end of the year was wonderful and paired DD up with other girls that she might get along with and they ended up being great friends. That way she had playdates over the summer and an easier transition the rest of the year.
So socially it was a good decision and academically it was the perfect decision.
