I think I can help you. I am also a transfer from Asia to USA quite a while ago. Here are some tips/basic things you need to know. 0.) It is not complicated at all. 1.) The basic principle (from what I can remember/experience)...is that you enroll the transfer student (which is your sister) to the desired middle or high school you want. 2.) The school may possibly give your sister a test. This test is to determine if she could go to the desired grade level or repeat it. -As for my experience, I failed the test since I couldn't understand english, so they put me back and had to repeat the same grade as I were in Asia (philippines). 3.) UNDERSTANDING BASIC ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS A MUST. but most schools provide an english learning language (ELL) class for those students who cannot speak or is limited in their english language. 4.) CHOOSE the best high school for your sister. Search online for the best high school in your area. highly educated high school teachers = success for your younger sister. 5.) Well, since you guys came from Asia (I'm not really sure if you do the same in your country...but in my country we wear uniforms...) anyways...most schools here in USA are public schools...meaning students don't need to wear uniforms. 6.) High School here in USA (most of them...) are NOT very expensive...in fact...I think they're ALMOST free...but that depends on where you enroll your younger sister. If it's private, then be prepared. 7.) The rest of the information will be provided by the staff in your desired school. They help you A PLETHORA!! so...good luck for you and your younger sister! And don't worry, it's VERY easy to adapt into the American culture (:

too many.public schools are a waste of taxpayers dollars and a waste of time.not to knock the good teachers who do a good job with what they are given, but the whole system is broke. we should just do away with it return all that money to the parents and let them pay for kids to go to private schools where the schools have to compete for the children to go there.didn't anyone watch 20/20?
