G11 is the most rigorous year for students aiming for selective colleges. Even if your child is successful in transferring, your child will need a period of adjustment, and this period may affect his grades. Even though you do not like the school, your child should use this year to make sure that he takes as many AP classes as possible and get 5’s on them, work hard to get really good grades. A good student in a not-so-competitive school may even have better chances of getting into a good university than a not-so-good student in a very competitive school.
