<p>Let me bring in another perspective. If your younger children are already in the school district (it’s public, right), then they may have already formed some friendships. So, you have to ask yourself what impact it might have on their social life. School shouldn’t all be about getting into a top-tier college. They might become miserable at their new school where expectations are higher in respects of colleges. Also, you never know. They might not want to go to a highly ranked college. I know when I did my college visits this year, my favorite campuses weren’t always the ivys. Just a different perspective.</p>
