For all the cringing parents, don’t forget that often, when a student is unhappy, it’s not because of the things you are paying for. It’s something else. When someone is unhappy, everything starts seeming wrong. I don’t think there is a truly rational answer to an emotional concern.

The OP was asking if an exit from an unhappy situation was feasible. The consensus seems to be "possibly, but finding a way to be happy where you are would be a heck of a lot easier. "

No one should doubt the OP’s professed unhappiness; what is in doubt is whether a “high honors” student at a great prep boarding school should repeat junior year in order to be a more attractive applicant to a more prestigious boarding school.
