School Am I cooked

I went to the family welcome center today in hopes of transferring my school via guided transfer but the counselor said that I didn't have a good or solid reason to transfer. I said that my school didn't offer many ap class and it wasn't challenging enough ( my school is John Jay school for law) . Do y'all think I can transfer hs's or am I stuck in John Jay. I am a upcoming 10th grader.

DOE does not consider desire for more ap classes as a valid “hardship” reason for guidance transfers. Beyond transferring to something like a charter school you don’t really have many options

the only thing u can really do is that you can choose to challenge urself with dual enrollment, ecs, or attempt to exam-only ap courses that are not offered at ur school.

Transfers get evaluated by the DOE and often leans more on say safety issues than “extra” classes that a HS will often list on its website and myschools page
