Yeah, we did look into other schools for her but being new to this area, she was resistant on attending a private school and wanted to stay with the public school. I am definitely looking into online high school as per your suggestion.

Pentaprism: I appreciate you telling me about your D and I do agree writing is important for STEM students. I know my older D who is in a STEM major in college complained about her language arts classes, but also now recognizes the benefit of having worked on her writing and taken AP level English classes. When she was a high school freshman, she was blessed with an amazing English teacher who demanded a lot from her students, but really taught them how to write and analyze. Unfortunately, thus far, my high school aged D has had no such luck with her English teachers, though the 10th grade teachers are supposed to be really good, so we shall see.

I will use this summer to investigate, research, and plan the best course is for my kid. Again, thanks so much for the thoughtful comments. I appreciate them very much…
