[quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a recurring theme lately of kids who are unhappy/anxious/depressed but it seems too late to switch schools because they are in high school. It really, truly isn't too late. We switched DC to Field after 11th grade was underway and it worked out perfectly, led to a great college where DC is happy. I was very surprised when I spoke with the Field folks how common this is. I know they are not alone in this and they make it work. While we were agonizing I spoke with a good friend who works at a highly regarded independent school in another part of the country who told me they take transfers from schools at which students are unhappy as late as the beginning of 12th grade. And if you think you would be sacrificing something by leaving a Big 3, I can tell you having made the change that those schools are overrated. Your child can get a fabulous education without being ground into the dirt. And once you see your child become happy again, you won't look back.[/quote]
