[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading between the lines, I think OP's child is at Kennedy Regional IB, and the cut program was theater. I have a current 10th grader who considered Kennedy, chose our home school, but found out later that despite promises there was no school play (fall or spring) at Kennedy.

If you are in the DCC, OP, you will need to do a COSA. If you are out of the DCC, I actually think it is easier. [/quote]

Kennedy's college acceptances were really strong this last year. Honestly, if your kid sticks it out they can write their own ticket, and the small classes, especially in 11th and 12th, were fantastic. My kid's thriving at a competitive college, six hours away from home, and well-prepared for it.

Re: the theater program, I'll report what I saw when my kid was in it.

I saw one teacher running ragged to organize the entire thing, a lot of parents here complaining about her, not offering to help, and not attending any of of the school events.

[b]Look, high school's ultimately what your kid and your family make of it. Kennedy's not Blair, but there's some strengths that come with that too. Your kid won't be 1 out of 3300 in a school where 400 students apply to UMD CP[/b].  Kennedy students make their own stuff, it's not handed to them. And school wise, at least for our kid, it was exactly what was needed. [/quote]

This was my big concern when applying for HS's.  There are some private theater groups as another option instead of transferring.

We were considering this but already too many activities.  https://www.strathmore.org/community-education/our-partners/young-artists-of-america/[/quote]
