Middle schooler transfer to private school for HS pros and cons

For us, the public school, despite its size, had far less diversity than the private - SES, racial, religious, nationality, gender-identity. But as has been mentioned, it depends on where you’re coming from and the private school. As a generalization, I would expect day schools to be less diverse aND boarding schools to be more so, but there are undoubtedly exceptions to that.
