My DD also went to JK and made one great friend. Her friendship was the only reason I hesitated taking her out of PS. They see each other every weekend, without fail. In a way I think it has been really good for their friendship because they are so over the top excited to see each other and they really value their time together. They also do a couple of extracurricular activities together during the week. I agree with all of the posts so far. For my kids, HS opens up many meaningful social opportunities that they wouldn't have otherwise. I especially like Kriston's advice...
