I’d transfer. I know some kids that go to private schools and oftentimes discipline becomes a witch-hunt. Privates have reputations to keep and sometimes have ridiculous rules. As long as you can maintain the same curriculum and it doesn’t hurt your ECs that much I would transfer. Also, ECs don’t matter that much for schools like U of I cause U of I is public. The smartest kid I know went to a mediocre public and it didn’t stop him from getting into HYPS. He is also much more balanced as he is not burnt out in college. IMO private schools are overrated. They put WAY too much focus on academics and rules, and don’t produce well-rounded students. I’m not saying every school is like that, as the school next to my public is not, but most are IMO. Just my 2 cents.
