[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have her shadow schools early to see if she likes any of them.  Good Counsel, Sandy Spring and Holy Child would be ones that comes to mind given your location.   
Get her a neuropsych and see if she has ADHD or is anything else is happening. ADHD is commonly undiagnosed in girls until middle / high school[/quote]

Hi - thank you.  We've actually had that done.  She has no diagnosable issues.  I think generally, that she is not naturally highly intelligent/smart and then does not have the motivation it would take to compensate for this. So we are where we are - I just need her to graduate high school and [b]get through college.[/b]  [/quote]

I'm going to throw out there that you might not be serving her well with this expectation. She sounds like a girl who might thrive in a trade school like environment that teaches a more hands-on profession. My of my nieces is much like you describe and is a successful hair stylist and esthetician, for example. She got through private high school with a solid B average but college was just overwhelming and she was miserable. She dropped out after a semester and is much happier having gone to a high-end "beauty school" for lack of a better term. There are lots of other fields like this where she could be successful and make use of her innate talents.[/quote]
