Is it shady to change schools while on Finaid?

I would echo this and also add somewhat of a counterpoint: schools can be sticky. This is less about being “happier with your current school than you thought you would be” and more about inertia. Kids make friends, get used to routines, etc. They may become intransigent about leaving after 8th grade. It’s one of the reasons why, once we decided to pull our kids from local public and move them to local private, we chose a school that had a hard stop after 9th grade. No sticking around for us at that point.
