Bad High School, Good Environment?

Question

Hi,
I formerly attended the best school of all time then my family moved and I started going to a bad catholic high school. My old school we a public charter school, it had all the perks of a public school but you had to have a 2.0 or higher to stay in the school (aka - no idiots). I hate my new school. It has been a semester and I have given it a try trying to make friends. The kids are not bad and the classes are not that great but ok. I liked my old school best but we moved out of state so I cannot go back. I recently found another public charter school were we moved but the academics are not as good. I can compensate for the academics with an online high school, but is it worth trading the education for the better environment? Its the vice principal and all of the stupid, pointless, creativity restricting rules that drive me nuts. All answers are appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who has answered so far, every opinion is welcome. I would to try and get as many view points as possible.

Answer 1

H.S. is a terrible time to move when we have friends and understand the rules and enjoy the day. Some of your dissatisfaction has to come from daily reminders aboout what you lost and that you can't move back. Moving then takes on added attraction. If it were me, and I did actually move in H.S. to a school from another planet (figuratively), I would stay in the current school which offers the better academics, Turning on-line to enhance the education offered at the poorer school seems to me to maintain some partially alienated status and more isolation with your computer time. The challenges that I faced learning to learn academically and cope, finally well, with my strange fellow students offered me many skills that I have kept to this day. Good luck.

Answer 2

im going through the same thing right now, and have looked up classes online that i could take. but to tell you the truth its better to have the teacher right there in from of you instead of just doing a bunch of lessons all day. if you want to learn something then i suggest not taking online courses. the best thing that you could do is just try and ignore them. yeah its hard, i pretty much dislike everyone in my school, but ill be a senior next year, so basically i would just do the best you can and focus on your grades and then get the heck out of there and youll never see those people again

Answer 3

I was in the same state as you are in now only it was a different situation. I moved from a bad school (that was actually non-accredited) and I have now moved to a better school (excepet a lot of the kids there aren't really friendly)

also is Night School available? you could try that but you would need to provide your own transportation.

Answer 4

Hey, I go to a credited school now ,and it was ranked last year as like the 3rd best in the nation. I get good grades,but it's not worth it. You're better off going to a school where you fit in. Trust me. I'm switching next year. As for college and highschool credits, if you're a good student you should be able to compensate with good grades and scholarships. --hope this helped---

Answer 5

Why dont you look at other options like night school? Look into other options and then discuss alternatives with your parents.
