[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your kid get to finish out high school in the current school with a COSA or your kid has to go to the new school that you will be zoned for?

My kid will be in 9th grade in 2026-27. I am wondering what will happen for 10th grade since our high school will most likely be changed.[/quote]

The superintendent has said he plans to recommend to the Board that rising 7th and 10th graders have to move to the new school, while rising 8th, 11th, and 12th graders get to stay at the old school.[/quote]
It’s really disruptive to the rising 10th graders. [/quote]

And the rising 7th graders.  At least for the 10th graders there's some justification before you don't want the new high schools to have only freshmen in them and take 3 full years to fill up.  But the middle schoolers are just changing places, not filling any empty schools, so there's no good reason to make the 7th graders switch besides "that's the way we've always done it."[/quote]

High school is more detrimental as they need to apply for college. If they feel depressed during the change(e.g., leaving their friends), this has more impact on their future.

Maybe the kid can write an inspiring overcoming a hardship essay about changing high schools after freshman year.[/quote]
