Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy is high school worth moving for?

You may wish to see if there's a Middle College in your school district.I know they have them in North Carolina. Middle College is a dual enrollment program. Students spend part of the day taking high school classes and part of the day taking college classes. Some end up with AA or AS degrees when they graduate from high school.

Middle College is usually advertised as being for "at risk" students, but when we dug into our program (well, scratched the surface of that statement), it turned out that "at risk" was defined in many ways, including, "going through the motions high school and at risk in spite of having high grades," and "not desirous of a traditional high school experience."
