[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Find a house that you like and buy it. You could pick a school that is perfect for some kids and end up being a bad fit for your kid. Your big choice is IB vs AP programs. I would go AP, there is more flexibility in the classes and more opportunities for College credit.

Every school has mean girl behavior, every school has bullying, every school has behavior issues. What works for one kid might not work for another. I understand your concerns but you are over thinking this. Find a house that works for your family and land there.

OP, I have two high school grads who went to the same school.  They had two very different experiences and neither was bad.

You cannot outline what your child will experience.  What can you do?  Help her learn how to react to an environment.  You cannot pick her friends.  You cannot pick her likes, etc.

You can support her.

From your questions, I agree that you are overthinking this.  You are looking for the perfect fit.  We all would like that.  But, sometimes, the perfect fit is what you make it.

Also, a piece of advice:

Let her go.  Be aware, but let her go.
