The key question is: How long is that finite period of time? I'd still say that I think it would be best to start off at a comprehensive high school, but if the school district has a small number of newcomers something like that could make sense. At the same time, I'm open to hearing contrary reasons. Larry JR,

Good question. The key question is: How long is that finite period of time? I’d still say that I think it would be best to start off at a comprehensive high school, but if the school district has a small number of newcomers something like that could make sense.

At the same time, I’m open to hearing contrary reasons.
