YES. K8 schools offer so much more stability for the kids. Middle school transitions are a nightmare for most families.

We need this in our area ASAP. My daughter is doing great in her k8 program and I dont want that to change.

Much better for the kids to have teachers who actually know them for years instead of just jumping around grades. Do it.

My oldest loved staying at the same school for so long. It makes everything so much easier for parents and the kids get way more comfortable.
