You could have titled this thread “Big fish in a little pond - vs - little fish in a big pond”.

It totally depends on your child. If grades unyieldingly remain the focus of the parent and/or the kid, there is a high probability that BS is gonna be rocky. However, if your kid is soaking up all of the other great things about BS, their grades are likely to slip…and that’s OK. Because then they learn how to be a good person, not just a good student. And I’ve seen and heard kids’ grades then pick back up by junior and senior year. It’s actually a pretty cool transformation.
