Anonymous wrote:My daughter is moving schools for next year (10th grade). The school she is leaving (in the DC area) way oversold itself. We went in thinking it would work for a girl who is smart, not really athletic and looking for lots of other extracurricular opportunities. None of it turned out to be true. She went in so enthusiastic and is leaving completely demoralized. It's heartbreaking as a parent. But we figured that we needed to make a change and now was the time to do it. Thankfully there was an opening at a school we think is more to her to her speed. It just makes me wonder how many kids stay in schools for all four years quietly suffering.
Sounds familiar. We did the same. I think if you can make the move earlier (post-9th grade) the better it is so that your daughter has the time to establish herself in the new school. There's no need for you and your daughter to be miserable and then have it all come to a head during college acceptance time.
