different schools for different children

I have 3 children, 2 in school. Question is has anyone moved one child to another school as it seems as though it would benefit him more for his learning? He is also ADHD.

My kids go to two separate schools, not for behaviour issues but because we moved & are in a different school zone. I find it okay, there's schools are thankfully 5 mins apart.

So yes it is doable and if you think your child will benefit then make the change. Just double check pickup times etc as it can become stressful if times clash etc.

Just think when the eldest goes to high school, they'll be in different schools. It's not as strange as some may think.

My 3 cousins go to 3 separate schools. One is musically inclined, the other is into sports and another academically inclined (all in high school). They just catch a bus or carpool with other families to make it work. I think if it's what would benefit him more then there shouldn't be any hesitation to move him :-)

This is the sort of situation I grew up in. We all had very different interests etc that could not have been nurtured in one school.

My older 2 children went to different primary schools for a couple of years. And I know of someone whose kids go to different high schools so i think its quite common.

I went to a different school to my sister.
My school didn't suit her, so found one that did.
