[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful if you can name the school district - you might get more useful information. I don't understand the thing about the bathrooms. My kids, one in MS and one in HS, attend large, diverse public schools and have never had any issue using the bathrooms at their schools.

In general, be prepared for a less personalized experience. Class sizes are probably bigger, kids are expected to be largely independent and there is not a lot of communication with parents. Help them be on top of whatever technology is used (Canvas, Google Classroom, etc). At my kid's MS everyone uses one of those large, zipper 3 ringed binders so they can keep notes and papers for all of their classes in one place.[/quote]

Yes, I anticipate that we are not going to get regular communication from the teachers (at this time we get daily emails from teacher and weekly from head of school).  I think it will help her become more independent.

At this time she is on the honor roll.  I'm not sure if public school will be harder or easier. But I do expect her grades to fluctuate based on new environment.[/quote]
