(US) Will my 1st grader fall behind when we move from the south to the north?

Question:

How was the educational transition for your kids?

Did you notice any glaring differences?

Any suggestions for preparation (we read and educational activities daily)?

Background:

I’m planning a move from Jackson, MS to a northern state next summer. I worked hard to move into a more expensive area for my 7 yo to attend school in the top district in the state. Totally worth it since she’s thriving and one of the top students in her grade at her school.

However, I am nervous that she may rank behind others once we move since the south has a reputation for being behind in education compared to other regions of the country.
