1. Absolutely true. The major issue is grading system.

By the way, your friend is only correct when this comes to private schools. For private schools, they don't care about your status. But for public schools, they are required to provide priority to anyone but international students.

2. Each high school use different standard (unlike colleges/universities, there is no admission standard). So you have to check with each high school for detail.

3. It will be kind of late, given that half of the high school education has completed.

4. You should worry about bullying instead.

5. None - as they are for profit.

One of the key is due to your status, you can only choose private high schools. In some cases, you may end up spending more money than you should.
