[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your student has access to this information through Naviance. [/quote]

He would be transferring in so no accounts yet unfortunately. Debating between staying at private or changing to JR. [/quote]

It is a mistake to transfer to JR midway through HS because you have some idea that your student is going to have better college acceptances.  It is a big decision and fairly disruptive for the student.  There are so many more things to consider.  Send your student where they will thrive.

This is OP and my kid is asking to change schools, or he thinks he wants to anyway. Working on finishing up the year and then will put energy into deciding but what I don't want to do is hurt any college or academic options. Grading and how many honors/AP courses are offered at the private are different from JR so trying to make sure a switch won't be too damaging academically. Socially is another story.[/quote]
You can explain away that in the college application.
In the college application you have that space.
If you think transferring to JR is the right decision for your child / family, do it.
But do not do it because you think the college application process will have different outcomes.[/quote]
