This is not a one size fits all situation. It is kid specific. Maybe the switch was because of a social situation, focus on education, problem with a specific lacrosse position, ie, celebrity goalie that isn’t going away. I switched my kids from public to private and it was a great move for my family - helped one kid get into D1 program and helped one kid get into a college (non athletic) they wouldn’t have gotten to otherwise hanging out with their old HS crew. Again, different kids will behave differently and create opportunities for themselves that others may not.
