[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you’re number one goal and concern is college placement, private school may not be the right place for your family. College outcomes are all something of a crapshoot these days. You have to want something intrinsic to the private school experience—smaller classes, better teachers, greater rigor (even in “regular” classes), athletic opportunity, etc. If you are only there for college placement and your kid isn’t in the top 10% of his grade, you’ll be happier in public.

This is the OP and college placement is/was definitely not my priority with choosing private over public. In fact I knew going in that it would probably hurt his acceptance options to a small degree but I felt like the private would be the best academic and athletic fit for him and the place where he would have the best overall school experience. The issue is that he has been placed on a non honors track and if he can’t get back on, even looking at top 150 colleges sounds like it won’t be possible and that’s where I have an issue. If I was looking for easy we would have never moved to private in the first place and now moving out of it would not be easy either. I appreciate all of the helpful posts. Signing off now as it’s not feeling so productive anymore. [/quote]
