[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 5373, member: 805"] Martie, I live in the City. The city's public schools are independent of each surrounding county. Our city schools are sparadic in their quality. We have pockets of higher income areas which often translates to a more involved pta, etc., which results in a higher quality school. difficult child happens to be in one of the best elementary schools in our city. The middle and high school choices are pretty dim. easy child had attended private Christian schools (just as difficult child did at the beginning - then I woke up realized he was not a little soilder that was fitting in that box!) since preschool. When it came to high school choices, none of the city public were options. So, she applied to two private schools and also made an application for a "out of zone tuition paid" spot in the county. This country has the best schools around and this high school is totally equipped as it is only 3 years open. Basically we had to go through the application process. She applied, applicatoins were returned dated and timed. She happen to make the second cut of 5 kids being considered (due to the timing of her application). We then had to send her transcripts for the school board office to look at. Then she was accepted and we pay what the county pays to educate the "average" kid in high school - $4,300. And, trust me, that's extremely reasonable for the education she is being afforded! Fortunately, they also build a new middle school right next door to the high school who, at this time, still has open spots. That is what I am considering for difficult child. However, I wonder how the school district will look at a kid with an IEP. Hope that answers your question - it's long enough!! Sharon [/QUOTE]
