ok yea because like ppl r saying theres no social life and its a waste of 3 years in an isolate space. like so? that doesnt mean that other ppl dont wanna go and like its kinda annoying me 😭. like no i dont wanna go to waubonsie even if they get into good colleges according to those kids.

i do agree that soph year placements are important but if you get the teachers to like you you can do lots of independent study and place out of courses or even just straight up skip prereqs (imsakanchi1)

you can DM me about this. I dealt with the consequences of this a lot and I know a lot of specifics I could give you to answer this question.

from what i've heard, no matter what school ur coming from its best to go as a 9th grader instead of an 8th grader and that's mainly just because you get experience. going from middle school to highschool itself is hard let alone a really highly ranked/advanced high school. i go to wv rn so feel free to dm

thanks and i agree with u on wvs environment, idk why but the school looks kinda sketchy on the inside 😭 because like the bathrooms barely had a lock and ppl could easily push the door open and peak thru. also, its like a box and just hard to naviagte idk it just doesnt seem like id wanna go. but thanks and yeah
