Not when you live OOT. Very often there is only one school, or you MUST send your children away and they have to dorm or live with relatives.
The local yeshiva for boys was lacking in many ways when our oldest sons were high school age….luckily, they were happy to live with my older brother in Brooklyn and went to school there.
Our three girls attended three different schools, so the idea they had to go where the older sister went didn’t hold with us. By the time the second was high school age there was a second girls high school in the area and our middle daughter and her friends chose the new school (they specifically did not want the Chabad school that was around for 50 years as we are Misnagid). Our youngest daughter chose to commute 35 miles to a third school. We carpooled for two years,and she drove her own car the final two years…I know that wouldn’t fly in many communities, but OOT religious girls often drive and have cars…there is little or no public transit.
