Top Signs of Trouble in Sixth Grade

For many sixth-graders, the transition to middle school can be difficult because they have to adjust to a new and much larger school, new friends, and several teachers. Frequently, their report-card grades drop because they are now being compared to new groups of students from other elementary schools.

Your child will have trouble if she's not able to:

Determine when she needs help and know how to get it.

Handle different test formats (essay, short answer, multiple choice, true-false).

Study efficiently.

Resist drug and alcohol experimentation.

Demonstrate a genuine interest in school and learning.
