[quote=Anonymous]My DD is coming from a good K-8.  She is a completely average student - not particularly motivated in any subject. She consistently pulls in B and C grades.  She’s also not involved in sports at all and has not stuck consistently to other random extracurricular activities we have tried.

This Fall we will meet with her counselor about potential high schools. But I was wondering what are your recommendations for a student who is not at all a star and doesn’t stand out at anything academically or sports-wise.

She does however have a wonderful, bubbly personality and makes friends easily.   I’m looking for a school where she would do well enough to get into college but obviously not a pressure cooker school. She’d probably do reasonably well in a finishing school type of environment, while although not necessarily academic, they will nudge you all of the way through while perfecting other skills that would be helpful in life, like public speaking, hosting, etc.

I hope this post is not odd. She’s one of three kids and just doesn’t have the same motivation or drive as my other two. [/quote]
