[quote=Anonymous]OP I don't know about your financial situation but would you consider sending her to a private school through middle school and transferring back to MCPS for high school? It sounds like you want your child to have a peer group that is comparable to the one she had in elementary school - kids who are academically oriented and who have a broad range of extra curricular interests. This might be more likely in high school when many of the kids she hung out with in elementary school will attend school with her and if she is a good student she is more likely to be on an honors/AP track and be surrounded by kids who enjoy learning and want to do well. You have a couple of years to do your research and find out which NEC HS is most likely to offer a rigorous high school education and a broad range of stimulating EC activities (perhaps Blake?). Right now the school is not a good fit for your child who is unhappy and it also sounds like you are worried that she might lose her motivation to learn and do well in school which would be really unfortunate.
