[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he there OP? If you live near decent public schools, send him there. [/quote]

OP here.  We had some long and complex conversations about this.  Kid ultimately decided to stay as she (student is a girl) has been there for 5 years and all friends are there.  It's not socially ideal to transfer for the last 2 years of high school plus the curriculums don't align all that well.  Plus the private transcript is all wonky with limited APs and honors, imperfect grades, etc. it seemed better to keep going (again, mainly because that is what the kid wants for friendship reasons).  If kid was younger and I knew what I know now I would transfer her.  I actually regret sending her there and consider it a pretty big parenting misstep--it was her idea but I agreed to it, helped her apply, etc.  Our younger kid has stuck with public.  [/quote]

Op don't be so hard on yourself.  My parents made the same "mistake."  I should have switched high schools, had an awful highschool experience but, you know what, I took away some valuable lessons from both the good and bad and am just fine.  Your daughter will be too.  And you did what you thought was right.  I will say, even having her go abroad for a year may be helpful.  Know that this has become vert popular at NCS.  [/quote]
