This savvy guide demystifies the complicated high school admissions process and compiles all of the information into one source so that families can make a well-informed decision when choosing their child's school. Listing more than 140 schools by category—Catholic, Independent, and Public—and providing general information about each one, this resource helps parents narrow their search by outlining each school's curriculum and philosophy, costs, class sizes, percentage of college-bound graduates, and public transportation options. The accompanying timeline begins with the sixth grade and outlines important topics of discussion to prepare parents and prospective students along the way.
