[quote=Anonymous]I’m hoping to get some perspective from parents who’ve been through this.
 My 15 year old daughter is a freshman this year. She didn’t get into a selective high school and is attending our in boundary school, which has been a bigger adjustment than we anticipated.
She has friends and is doing ok academically, but she’s not happy and feels overwhelmed much of the time. She often says she misses her friends who ended up at other schools, and she really misses her old life in middle school. 
We’re also seeing changes that worry us a bit. she chose not to try out for the basketball team this year (something she used to enjoy) and hasn’t been very interested in extracurriculars in general which wasn’t the case last year in middle school. 
Unfortunately, private school isn’t financially an option for us, so we’re trying to understand whether this is a fairly typical freshman-year adjustment or a sign that she’s truly struggling and may need a different path.
I’d really appreciate hearing from parents whose kids went through something similar-did things improve with time, or did you end up making a change? Thank you so much for any insight.[/quote]
