How easy is it to switch high schools during the school year?

Can you choose High School Classes for next year (sophomore) in Public Schools?

• Okay so I currently go to a Private School and yesterday I mailed in my transfer papers to switch to a Public School near me. The thing is, yesterday we also had this green sheets given out to choose classes we can take for next year. The teachers came around and signed the subject we were strong enough to excel in. I got about three honor classes with the top smartest people. If I stayed in this school, I would take advantage of this in Sophomore year. The thing is, Im dedicated to switching schools when the year ends. I dont know what to do. Does public schools have this also? for example, would I still take the same courses I was assigned this year, if I switch to a public school? or would I be assigned some other classes. Im very confused. I dont know what my decision is on switching schools. Overall, if I switch to a public school, would I be assigned the same courses as I was in private school?

• Answer:

  Not all public schools work the same way. In general there should be some classes you can choose. most HS have different levels for core subject. general, advanced honors and for juniors and seniors AP You may need to take placement tests. Or the public school, after reading your transcripts, may allow you to take Honor level classes. You and your parents should set up a meeting with the public school to discuss this before you swtich
