HSs with the latest start times

Anonymous
I'm a strong believer that kids need enough sleep to function. I've based my whole parenting approach around making SURE my kids get enough. I don't want that blown to smithereens when DD has to go to HS. We are trying to find a private HS that starts no earlier than 8:30. Can you please help? I'm making a list of those and then we will begin considering based on price before touring, etc.
Thanks.

No school that my kid looked at started that late. Some (Holton) have late start one day/week.

But, If schools start later kids will be at school layer, and home later. Is that really better?

Homeschool. Or get your kid to bed earlier so they get enough sleep. Mine gets up at 6:30 and goes to bed at 9:30, which is 9 hours of sleep.

Your high schooler goes to bed at 9:30? Just know that is highly unusual for teen sleep cycle patterns.

You do need parenting advice if you're expecting everything to revolve around your child. He's not five anymore. Oh and there will be an increased homework load and school activities that run late.

What is wrong with you people that you have to make judgmental comments like this in response to OP’s question?

I have a child that struggles with depression and insomnia. Finding a school with a more reasonable start time was definitely a criteria we considered.

SSSAS also starts around 8:30.
