kelly - If I were you, I would contact Cornell’s admission office about your daughter’s situation (or any college your daughter is interested in). Ask them what information they would require from your daughter’s current school for admission. I would also speak with a GC at her new school to see how they would look at her transcript (new school may look at 85 as a B, and at her current school it may be an A). It would be easier for you to get the information now rather than later when she is no longer at the school.

We had choices of 2 high schools for my daughter to attend. I contacted Cornell and Colgate admission offices to see whether they were familiar with those schools. After I heard back from them, I was then comfortable with our choice.
