My kids missed huge amounts of HS due to health issues, and YES, it did have a huge impact on their private prep high school and also their friendships and relationships with faculty. Their private school worked with us, but it was a struggle for us and for the faculty and school.

The school would have been even more upset if any of these prolonged absences were in any way voluntary on the kids or our part. It WAS disruptive, there are no two ways about it. Those HS years were some of the most challenging for us as a family & the high school in all its history – trying to work with us and our kids’ health issues. We all did the best we could and thankfully, it has turned out OK for the kids (tho it definitely had many bleak times).
