Here's the situation. My son (16) is currently enrolled in a private college-prep school in another town. He's finishing up his sophomore year. He's been there 2 years. Now he wants to transfer back to the public high school where all of his friends from junior high school & his robotics team go. The school he is in has about 60 kids per grade and the school he wants to go to has 500-600 per grade. I am absolutely devastated about the thought of him going to the public school. I know he won't get the education at the local school that he is getting now. Unfortunately when he started at the private school we had to pretty much force him to go. We told him that he had to go for 1 year then he could make the decision for the next year. The second year he decided to stay where he was. Now he throws this at us. We can't really make him go without being liars & I don't want that.
Does anyone have experience with college admissions? Is he limiting his choices for college by changing schools or will they just look at his GPA & test scores? Any advice would be appreciated. He is so bright & I feel like he's throwing away the opportunity of a lifetime!
