High school is a crucial time for kids. Not only is it the stepping stone into college, but a high school diploma by itself can help a lot when applying for a job. It's not just the curriculum parents need to worry about. Location, extracurricular activities, expenses, transportation, student-to-teacher ratio, and more are all things to consider when it comes to selecting the right school.
