Thanks so much for your answer.I've been trying to decide if the teacher is the person to ask to get a feel for his social life. Not going to lie, I may have intimidated them into feeling they have to lie. Also, since so much more social interaction takes place outside of the classroom, I worry that the classroom teacher isn't the most informed person.asking my son is likewise unhelpful because, despite doing really well and loving to learn, he is very negative about his classmates.I'd love to hear more....

If you think it is best I would do it. My family moved five states let alone just the next town over. The one thing I would take into consideration is does your child have friends he has moved up with and would them not being around affect him.

I am past the point of what others do or say as long as it does not affect my children. If you are swing signs that other students are not being nice then I would definitely consider the move. I am a big fan of planning ahead and we all know the schools are slow to react in these situations. My advice is always to do what is best for my children no matter what.
