[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the PP facing a similar situation, there is a solution that you have time to implement:

Apply now, this cycle that is just beginning, to reclassify to repeat 9th at private schools that begin in 9th (not k-12 privates) in the new city. You may even have an admissions edge for bringing in a bit of geographic/perspective diversity to the new school.

The extra year of maturity will benefit the teen starting fresh at a school where all students are new and friendship circles are not yet formed. They will also have an academic buffer to reduce the stress of transition.

If the new job includes a salary bump, dedicate some of those funds to the child’s education in order to support a “dream” transition for all family members.

Good luck![/quote]

Yes, because all kids dream of repeating a grade. I may have missed this but we don’t know if DC is young or old for grade in either area[/quote]

+1 horrible idea! Turning 16 as a freshman would be awful.[/quote]
