It depends on how much work you put into it. Public school can, in fact, be really hard if you take Advanced Placement Classes, but it's worth it if you're up for a challenge. As for the rumors about the way freshmen are treated badly, those are pretty much false. Get involved. Join clubs to meet new people, go out for a sports team, or join the band. That way you'll meet kids with interests similar to yours, and you'll make friends quickly. The more you get involved, the more fun you'll have. High school can be a blast if you put effort into it!

Preperation for college is never easy for a highschool student, and thats exactly what ap classes are preping you for.  On a scale from one to ten ten being the hardest, honors is a 4 in comparrison to AP which is an 7.  Get ready to work hard, but id say try it out because it is an amazing expierence for someone who wants to go to college, and also it looks good on a resume for colleges. Its more studying and harder grading from teachers, but you won't regret it in the long run.  That's not to say you won't sometimes feel overwhemlmed and a little regretful while taking the class.  But afterwards you'll be happy you took the challenge. and so will your parents because you're bound to do great in college.

Graduating! I hated high school because I had to move after my sophmore year from Maryland to Atlanta, GA. I didn't like the atmosophere at the school and I was definitely an outsider. I was so uncomfortable that during my Junior and Senior years, I didn't step one foot inside the cafeteria to eat lunch...not one time. I just stood in the hall until lunch was over.

I did the same thing. I was taken out of public school after first grade, and began homeschooling in 2nd. I continued to be homeschooled through 10th, and went to public high school my Jr. and Sr. years. I did it for the chance to make friends and also to graduate with an accredited diploma. I am now a Jr. in college and doing great, no problems with the transition. I would say go for it, and here are a few things I delt with. \n\n1. make sure your parents or whoever made the decision to homeschool you is aware of what you want to do and you have talked about it, this was a little rough for me!\n\n2. You are most likely ahead of the other kids in your grade so far as schoolwork is concerned, as usualy homeschooling curriculum is more advanced, you have no one to copy from, and you are an independant learner, so you absorb more. Keep this in mind as you enter publoic school, and don't let your study habits go, even though the work will seem easier. keep pushing hard, you will need the good reccomendations from teachers when you need scholarships and admissions references.\n\n3. since you have already had a year of highschool in homeschooling, check with your highschool guidance counselor over whether or not those classes will transfer to their school, since usualy you are starting to accumulate high-school credits by now. They may have you take a placement test for credit in some areas, and they may have you re-take a class through the school in the evening or summer - A pain, but I thought it was worth it. \n\nI wish you the best of luck with this, and hope it helps. I LOVED my two years of highschool, and made some wonderful friends. If you have any questions for me, or need help with anything, you can email me at this addy!!!!! Good Luck!!

Currently, the School of Life. This one is tough, more so than my other former schooling.

I think so yes. Talk to your child's dean, or councilor. they will know. It is not the same everywhere though. BE CAREFUL WITH MOVING! Do not let any credits get "lost" or "mixed up". I moved three times in high school. By my last three months in my Senior year, they told me my credits were not in order. I have about 2 in a half in algebra 2 1 in a half in geometry, NONE for English 1 and 2. When a child moves from state to state in high school, some teachers quite, and don't turn in what they need to, and sometimes they get your credits mixed up with someone Else's. It is a big problem. I moved from North Carolina, to Texas, and than to New Mexico while I was working on my high school credits. Just be careful, and make sure everything is in order with the credits BEFORE your child starts a new year. I ended up needing to do two whole years of homes school because of that. It also made me decide to not go to public schools anymore. Good luck with all.

My ugly stage/puberty It made things harder to concentrate. Otherwise 12th grade cause you have to meet all these curriculum's and pass everything before you can graduate. The pressure was kinda tough.

Most high schools have placement tests that will put you in the course where you will be challenged but won't struggle if you pay attention. If your school doesn't do placement tests then I would start in the track 1 class. If it gets too hard you can always switch. It would be harder to switch to a more difficult class though, you'd fall behind if you did not start there.

I'm just finishing up my freshman year in high school. Don't worry! You're going to be fine. Get to know your teachers and the building. Ask friends who are upperclassmen what it's like. Joining clubs or doing sports are an awesome ways to meet people. And the best way to get noticed is to just be yourself.

It's really fun. I just gonna tell u about my class. I'm an Accel student..,, where the junior high only takes 2 years. There r 12 studs. It's really tight because our scores must be not least that 75 and our final score must be above 70. If not, school gonna dropped us back to the regular class. Really hard huh? This term, is an eliminated term.. where maybe someone will get into regular class if necessary. I'm a bit afraid because my scores are getting lower. But I think I'm still gonna enjoy this class... ^^\nWell, even though it's hard, tight, no times 4 games, but I enjoy it a lot. Really. I like to learn. I don't mind even my times spend only for studying n not 4 playing games. Because I use my free times for playing violin... that's 'games' for me.\nEvery holiday, 12 of us usually go to cinema... this summer, our plan is playing paint ball, watch Pirates of d Carribean 2, and going to hospital for research... We r like best friend.. we share together... and there is closeness among us..  That's what I like about accel class. Because we only 12, so we are like family...\nThat's my school life in my SCHOOL.. in the country..,, I can't explain it because there's nothing special except the balance of spiritual lessons, character building, and knowledge..

Hello, the CHSPE really isn't all that hard but I do suggest studying a bit for it. The English part is extremely easy. I think that the stories are at 4th grade level and the questions are common sense. The grammar part is easy too. The Writing part is easy but I did take me some time to write about it. My topic was: Do you think that minors should have a curfew? Do you think they should be in at a certain time? \n\nAnother one was: What, in your opinion, is the most difficult stage of life, childhood, teenage, adult, or old age.\n\nThe Math part is a bit hard and I do suggest studying for this. Just take your time and read the questions carefully. A few of them are easy as can be but there are a few hard ones. \n\n3 1/2 hours is really not enough time if you want to take your time and thoroughly check your work after. I suggest doing the math part first. \n\nYou should do fine. Go ahead and take it. The website is chspe.net. Did you pass the exit exam. The math part on the exit exam is easier than the math part on the CHSPE so if you didn't pass the math part on the exit exam, you might fail it on the CHSPE.

I am from a small community outside of Big Spring, it is called Lenorah.  Big Spring schools aren't very good.  Lenorah has a six man 1a school---Grady ISD.  They accept transfers.  It is an exemplerary school district, which means it has gone beyond Texas standards on testing.  Trust me, you don't want to live in Big Spring, it is dirty and has a lot of crime.   Big Spring, Stanton, and Lenorah are all within 15 minutes of each other.  You won't find very many retail jobs if that is what you are asking about.  But, the oil business is really booming down here (I live in Midland now, it's a great town, and the closest big town to Big Spring besides Lubbock).  All the oil companies are in need of secretaries and record keepers.  The Big Spring paper is called the Herald and you can look at jobs and houses for rent in the classifieds.  Houses cost more to rent now with the oil boom and all.But Big spring will be cheaper to live than Midland, but I urge you not to move there.  Lenorah has a few houses to rent, but you have to know who to ask and it is in the country (I don't know if you are used to that)  Stanton has a few too, and they will be listed in either the Herald, Martin county messenger, or Midland County Reporter Telegram.  Here are the websites.  Good luck!  Oh and there is a smaller school outside of Big Spring (still in Howard county) called Forsan ISD.  It is way better than the Big Spring schools.  I don't know if they take transfers or if you have to be in their district.

I'm a freshman in TX and I am thinking about going there, so yeah. Okay Texas has a law where if you are in the top 10% of your high school then colleges have to accept you... something like that. Anyway, I know that UTA often times doesn't even have room to accept all of the top 10% that apply, so if you don't live here... I pretty sure that chances are slim... I know that they have a website though so you should check it out. I think what I have told you is pretty acurate.

Perfect question for me! My friend is from the Philippines. She moved here in 1995 with her 3 kids and her oldest daughter went to Morton East High School in Cicero. She did fantastic, and is now in college to be a nurse. Her youn gest daughter is now in middle school and will be attending Morton West High School next year in Berwyn. The school system in Berwyn is great. Something to think about.
