Flower, did your dd decide to apply to EEP or not? I think that we're going to pass b/c the move is just too much for us right now.
We're trying to figure out a way to make dd13's high school experience better. She's taking nine courses/semester with most of them being heavy academic subjects. One of the non-academics, photo, which was supposed to become speech in the spring, she traded out for a study hall, which should give her more free time to join some clubs, etc.
Switching to another local school doesn't seem to be a problem solver as they all seem to have the same approach of quantity=rigor and not enough intellectual peers for dd. There are some alternative high schools but their test scores are quite poor and a good chunk of the kids in those schools seem to be troubled, so not necessarily something we're willing to take a chance on.
Dd may just be in a wait and see spot where she's going to have to try to make where she's at work.
