Both. She wanted the academic acceleration but she also wasn't incredibly happy with the social environment either. The teachers would sometimes make her partner with kids that needed help or seat disruptive kids next to her to even them out; in other words, instead of fostering her development, using her to foster others.
One of our concerns would be the diminished interaction with kids her age but then we thought about our own high school experiences and realized she probably wouldn't be missing anything. I had a great time at university but high school? That was just a nightmare.

I got my school board to pass an alternative study option for me (which students are still using now 20 years later) but ultimately dropped out (and later dropped out of college). I may have missed out on some socialization and networking, but I'm doing fine and glad I listened to myself. For some of us, public school is the steamroller. Thanks for listening to and taking care of your daughter like this.
