I am presuming your child is in middle or high school. I am also presuming that your deposit for next year is due soon and part of the conversation of whether to stay or go.

Many independent schools have full time counselors and/or your child may also be assigned an advisor. Have you reached out to any of these resources to talk about your daughter and see if what you are hearing at home maps to what the school is seeing? Has she spoken to anyone at school about her feelings and friendships? Is she still hanging out mainly with her friends from her old school?

A benefit of many independent schools is the community and the resources. I know this was asked above, but is your daughter involved in any clubs, sports, activities to find her people vs just attending class and heading home ?

It is hard to hear she is unhappy and I hope you can work with the school to get a better understanding of the source of her unhappiness.
