Stoneybrook Day School

Okay, I've been trying my hand at fic writing here lately, and I'm a pretty big stickler for canon

I would assume, in the absence of contradictory canon, that SDS is a thirteen- or fourteen-grade school, unless it had its own specific private high school. I can't see why you'd pay for your kid to go to private school for nine years, only to feed them into a public high school.

A lot of people here have sent children to Catholic school through grade 8 and then public HS- though I agree that it's a crazy thing to do.

A lot of people do that - many of the kids I knew in middle school and high school had gone to private schools. It depends on how good the available public schools are.

Yeah, that's true. I went to an independent school that served as the "local high school," and quite a few of the kids came from private backgrounds. But public education seems to be pretty good in Stoneybrook (a la Stacey), so it seems unlikely to me.

At any rate, cassandraclue confirmed that SDS does have a high school level.

A lot of people pick private schools not just because the public school choices aren't great but also because there's something about the private school that appeals to them - its philosophy, religious education, the student population, class sizes, proximity to home, etc.
