[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the previous poster. Also not all private high schools are about grades and scores. There are excellent private schools that look at other indicia - like outside interests, summer acitivities etc - that may show a child’s motivation, independence and over all social competence. Bottom line is that there are so many instructive data points and grades and scores are merely part of the big picture. Beyond that, the public schools in this area are fantastic. If money is the issue you say it is, make the most of the public option and save for college when there is no public option. Set expectations for your child so that he understands that high school students can chart their own course and that transitions are uncomfortable. Perhaps your current school can help you? Good luck!! [/quote]
