We have found that for the tuition of Rock Point School, that after graduating you can not attend any thing other than a community college without your child attending the public school at an additional cost for the classes. If we wanted our child in public school then we wouldn't have put her in a boarding school. We have also found that the supervision of the children does not meet the standards of most parents.

Why do you say that?  Are their course offerings not adequate for most colleges?   Do they offer them, but just not require them?  Please explain.

Wonder, most of these "schools" are unaccredited.  This means they cannot issue state diplomas.  The "credits" obtained are useless and many kids are barred from higher education consequently.  Best bet is to stear clear of these types of "schools" and "programs."

My understanding was that this places was just a normal boarding school not a tbs. Is this incorrect?

No, you are NOT incorrect.  Rock Point School is a normal boarding
school, which is why it is rarely discussed on this forum, as RPS does NOT abuse kids.

 Also, the  quality of education at Rock Point School is excellent.  I know because I graduated from RPS, and I was accepted by the University of Illinois (where I  graduated from), and about a dozen other accredited schools, including University of Vermont, University of Wisconsin, St. Norberts College, Southeast Missouri College, Southern Illinois University, and several other schools whose names I can't remember anymore.  

The poster who said that  Rock Point school is unaccredited, and that the kids have to attend public HS and community college afterwards, is completely full of shit.

Trust me, because I know.
