    let me do the math ... wow. my number goes to ELEVEN.


    K-3rd - scottsdale, az
    4th/5th - fair oaks, ca
    6th - rancho cordova, ca
    7th - rancho cordova, ca
    8th - las vegas, nv
    9th - mesa, az
    10th/12th - mesa, az
    community college - mesa, az
    undergraduate - Arizona State Univeristy (grad w/ bachelor's) - tempe, az
    graduate degree in CS - colorado springs, co

    all of them, military brat.... plus, do you count schooling to receive professional licenses? Like, real estate school, insurance school.... guess if you count nursing LPN/RN, which are licenses and not necessarily bachelors degrees (that's a BSN), then those count?

    oh god.... i just realized I haven't lived in the same place for more than 3 yrs my entire life.....

    ( note: Metairie and Kenner are both suburbs of New Orleans)

    Nursery through K - Noah's Ark (I don't remember if there was more to the title, it was a place connected to a Pentecostal church) Metairie, Louisiana

    Elementary - Bissonet Elementary School, Kenner, Louisiana

    Junior High/Middle School - John Quincy Adams Middle School, Metairie Louisiana

    High School -

    9th Grade: Alfred T. Bonnabel High School (Kenner, LA)
    9th Grade repeat, 10th grade: Istrouma High School (Baton Rouge, LA)
    11th Grade: McKinley High School (Baton Rouge, LA)
    12th Grade: Homebound program but still technically enrolled at McKinley and graduated under their name (Baton Rouge, LA)

    So all in all that makes it... 6 different schools not counting homebound. My 9th grade repeat year was in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit so I had relocated to Baton Rouge, I only changed schools after that because the other had an art and drama department. I was put in homebound (basically teacher comes once a week for an hour, gives you schoolwork. It's meant for those injured and unable to attend school or girls who are too far in their pregnancy/on maternity leave to come to school) after a mental breakdown and was deemed too unstable to be allowed on campus.

    Random add on: I failed 4 school grades, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th. The first two were only one class so I got to take summer school and go on to the next grade. 9th was due to excessive absence and a suspension I received for forging a doctor's note which I didn't do. 11th I failed the second semester but the school system in Baton Rouge lets you repeat only that semester alongside the classes in that semester for the next year.

    Okay... Let me see...

    2y/o class - kindergarten: Little Red Schoolhouse (small, private school in my hometown)
    1st - 4th grade: Florence Black (public school)
    5th - 6th grade: Mary Moss (switched bc MM was a new school and I was in their district)
    7th - 8th grade: Agnew Middle School (AKA Hell)
    9th - 12th grade: Mesquite High
    Undergrad: Texas A&M
    Graduate: University of New Orleans
    MBA: University of Phoenix...

    That brings my total to 8... I didn't count the community college in my hometown because I only took basic courses there between summers at A&M and I also didn't count the correspondence courses I took for Latin and later grief counseling (in grad school). With those, it would be 12....Damn.

    I attended 15-16 different schools between 1st and 12th grade. Never attended the same school in back to back years. Several years I attended two different schools, one year I attended 3 different schools.

    On a couple occassions, I attended a school I had previously attended. For example part of the 5th grade was at the same school I attended in 1st grade. Part of the 6th grade was at a school I attended in 2nd grade.

    My parents liked to move... a lot...LOL...

    In addition, I've attended 3 different colleges, with degrees from 2 of them.
