[quote=Anonymous]This is a stupid idea on many levels. First, colleges barely consider senior year grades. So many kids are applying EA, ED, and rolling admission these days, your senior grades aren't that important. Second, colleges can see your transcript and will see that you transferred from a more competitive school. So they will still benchmark your kid against kids from the school your kid previously attended, not the new school, for an apples to apples comparison. Third, your kid will lose access to teachers and counselors for references, and will also lose out on any possible opportunities for leadership (club presidents, team captains, etc.). Finally, your logic makes no sense. How would your kid with lower grades from private school come in and be valedictorian? Your kid's grades would be worse, and if you came in with no APs/other weighted classes, your kid will not be able to compete. [/quote]
