I attended public high school in a well-regarded neighborhood for two years, and then attended boarding school out-of-state for two years. My reason for switching schools is pretty personal and I'm not sure I am comfortable with discussing it in detail during recruitment, nor do I think that would reflect well. When talking about high school with people I meet in general, I usually just mention the one I attended for the first two years and don't mention the boarding school. However, the registration form requires that I put down the name of my high school, so I am not sure which to list. I feel like it would be dishonest not to list the boarding school, which I graduated from, since it also asks for my high school GPA.
I am hoping this just won't turn out to be an issue since I am a transfer, so the focus should be on my college career. However, any thoughts on how I can approach the issue in an honest way that still won't raise any questions?

My thought wasn't correctional, though that would be a possibility.
I'm wondering if it's a boarding school for mental health or something along those lines.
OP, I really wouldn't stress and honestly if wasn't a school for delinquents, I wouldn't worry about anyone who judges you based on that.
