This is the first year that our daughter is at nest m, last year, we decided bypassing the bigger high schools for nest. Great teachers, small teacher, student ratio. My daughter is somewhat shy, the teachers has been able to open her up, and has made many new friends. Bottom line, going to a larger highschool can get your child lost in the shuffle, there is a strong possibility that your child will never know their graduating class not at nest. If your child is heading to 9th grade, definitely have them attend the summer program, they can get some courses out of the way, can accustomed to the travel route, and make some friends. Expect about 3-4 hours of homework per day.
