First of all, no one will mind that you moved. Most high schools in NYC no longer have zoned programs and even those that do will allow you to complete your academic career in the same school you started in, even if you move out of the zone. So if you want to stay, you can just tell them you moved (and have your parents fill out the blue card that gives the school your contact info again.)
However, 2 hours really is a very long commute!!! My daughter has just over an hour commute and, although she loves her school, she really hates getting home so late!
The Department of Education views a commute of 2 hours to be excessive and will allow a hardship transfer for a commute that long. So you might want to think about transferring, if you find the commute unbearable.
Good luck.
yes switch schools!! thats a huge comute and i say its not worth it!
