You can move into the district.
Or if the schools allow it, you can pay tuition into the other school. The reason for it is your tax money(generally) goes to the district that you live in, and you essentially want to take her somewhere that you havent "paid" for.
I suppose that you would talk to the office of the school you want to move her to first, and then your own, and I assume paperwork is involved.
Every state is different but chances are no. You can only go to the school in your district or a private school. If you are concerned about education, you can apply for a scholarship at some private schools and see if that helps. You can also move your family to a better school district by moving into that district. Religious schools and college preps schools usually have scholarship programs and you can try to get. However, with the new educational requirements, all schools have to meet certain standards or they loose government funds and it's a huge deal so unless she is in special education, she should get a better education than people in her school may have received 10 years ago. If she is a special education student, you have many more options (I am assuming she is not or you would have said so).
I would talk to the principle and tell him your concerns and let him address them with you and how they plan to combat the problems you see. You never know, you might develop such a good relationship with the school that you will feel better and not want to take her out.
If all else fails you can work with her at home to add to her education and help make her ready for college.
Yes you can, but it is difficult and you have to be prepared to go to court.
My mum and dad did this for me when I was so much younger and at school.
You basically have to send your child to the school which falls in your catchment area by law. However if you have a really good reason for her not being in that school ( remember what you feel is a good reason they may not think that) then you can apply to have her moved.
It all comes down to money really so it is hard as they will fight you every step of the way and if you get knocked back the last step is a court hearing with the judge deciding.
I was lucky my parents won and for that I am grateful and if you are succeful be prepared for her to find it hard, leaving all of her friends behind, and she may feel bad towards you if she doesn't actually want to change schools but she will settle and find new friends.
You first need to make an appointment at the school to let them know of your decision, make an appointment with a solicitor and take it from there.
If you find you fail, then you can if feasible for you and your family move ino the area which has the school you want your daughter to attend as then they have to accept her.
Good luck
Good luck
I'm a child so i can tell you how your child would feel.
I would feel upset and angry that your taking me away from everyone but i will hopefully understand that your only doing it for my own good and that i can make new friends.
I'm sure you can put your child in any school of your choice.
Unfortunately this is a good question since so many schools do not meet standards.
You are obviously a concerned and interested parent.
There are provisions in the No Child Left Behind Act that allows for transfers when a school does not meet standards. It applies various sanctions depending on how long the school is out of compliance. One of the sanctions against the school is transfer. Another is turoring.You can look up the act on line, contact your school district, your state department of education, or the US Department of Education. The search may be worth the result. It is quite possible, however, that your school is not up to this state or if it is it must be done within your school district.
As part of the law the school MAY offer double periods in various subjects or tutoring.
Another possibility is to withdraw your child from the school. Your choices here may be home schooling, private or parochial schools that you may have to pay for.
Some schools have honors, Advanced Placemet, or International Baccalaureate programs. Learning and instruction in these classes are frequently better.
You may also want to hire a private tutor for your child. Free tutoring on line is also available. I have found that both pathwhelp.com and jhiskha, com are excellent. In pathwhelp your child will actually be able on line to speak to a teacher directly.
I hope that at least some of these suggestions prove to be helpful and that your child meets with success. By the way I am a retired High School principal.
Keep up the concern and do not get discouraged.
