[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not move my kid in senior year. 
My parents moved in senior year, and it was hard to start a new school with new teachers, new strangers. Hard to make new friends unless the other teens are in your neighborhood. 
it's the social impact on your teen that you need to focus on.

I would never move a kid for senior year, unless you absolutely couldn't manage it financially.  I moved our oldest for 10th grade and I'm glad it was then and not even 11th.  You need to build a friend group, get recommendations from teachers, etc and socially your kid deserves the opportunity to enjoy senior year and take the courses they need for college.

+2 Absolutely not to moving for senior year, unless the kid is unhappy in their current school and is all in on wanting to move. It's one year, you suck it up with having dad move first and rent a room/stay in bachelor quarters, whatever the military term is, to prioritize your kid's well-being. Both emotionally and in being well positioned for college applications, moving before senior year is detrimental. [/quote]
