[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son sounds like a bright young man who has done his research. I would suggest letting him try Sherwood. By winter break you'll have a good idea whether it is the right choice or not. If not, you can contact the private school about switching him in or applying for his sophomore year. Are you planning to pay for his entire college tuition without loans? If not, then I would definitely let him try at least one year at Sherwood and bank the tuition that you are saving for his college tuition. My parents could afford one or the other, so I went to a public high school and they fully paid for my education at Johns Hopkins (not cheap). One of the best gifts they ever gave me was being able to graduate with a good degree and with no student debt.[/quote] This is bad advice. Transferring to a private is very difficult. You are better off trying the private and if it doesn't work, transfer back to public.[/quote]
