[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sure there are reasons you didn’t want her to go to her boundary school. If it’s a “bad” school or just mediocre, I don’t think it’s a good idea to transfer there. There are also even fewer of her friends there!

DS had to go to a HS where very few of his MS friends were assigned. He was unhappy at first, but ended up not wanting to transfer for 10th. I told him to give it a chance and if it gets bad I’ll do some questionable stuff like use his relatives’ address to get him into that other school. I didn’t need to do it at the end.

The school itself isn’t that bad, its actually on a really good track but I’m just not sure if it will stay this way plus if she does transfer to her in boundary school, I don’t want her to end up regretting it especially if it didn’t get better in the new high school. It is her middle school’s feeder school though so I’m not sure if she wants to go because she thinks it’ll be like her middle school. [/quote]

In short, if you think that her in boundary school is objectively worse than her current one - don’t let her transfer. You are the adult and you can see what really matters and she can’t, because she is too young, 
For example if the home school is significantly higher farms then it’s a no, unless maybe she is an average student and wants to shine there for college admissions. These are all just examples as I don’t know the specifics but the point is that you and I can see beyond a year or two and she can’t. [/quote]
