Boarding School Blues

We have been married for 21 years. We have one daughter, she is 15 and going to be 16 in oct 2000. My daughter is a 10 grader and she has not been doing do good in school. Her grades fluctuates between semesters. She get better grade in the beginning of the term and slides at end of the year. This has been going on since grade 7. My wife was very upset about her and of course, I was the victim of my daughter's grade. Now my wife wants her me to send her to a boarding school or she is moving out of the house. I am very reluctant to do so, because her school is one of the best in the district. Many people wants to move in here and because of the school district, the property value has gone (up) substantially. I need help, please let me know what should I do to prevent this separation. I love my wife and my daughter dearly. Thank you and best regards.
