[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from a town in the rural south and I think a lot of the posters who are saying private Christian school don’t know what they’re talking about. I said this is someone who went to a private Christian school in a larger city. Once we moved you don’t want to send your kid to a right wing Christian segregation academy. [/quote]

Sorry there are typos in this. I spent my childhood in a small town for the only privates were weirdo Christian segregation academies. The public school sucked. It was better to be in a public school then went to a private Christian high school that wasn’t a segregation Academy so I’m not opposed to Christian private schools that was a private school. Those Christian Academy that you described is probably one of the sucky ones. I’d choose public.

Are you White and Christian? Join the local Episcopal church and have her do youth group or choir. Or if there’s a Presbyterian Church USA church, consider that. Do not do Presbyterian Church of America. Either of those churches has a good chance of getting her in with the, relatively wealthier and higher achieving kids. Also, have her do an activity like your book that attracts the nerds. Go talk to the guidance counselor and make sure she gets into all of the highest academic classes even if you think it previous school she shouldn’t be in the highest academic track, and the school she should.  Partially for social reasons. Even if you end up, dropping her down to lower classes, you want her starting out in the higher classes so that she makes friends there.

If you’re posting us for more than two years, apply to boarding schools in eighth grade. I don’t know what your household income is, but some of the top boarding schools are starting to give really good scholarships for the middle class.[/quote]
