[QUOTE="Mickey2255, post: 50631, member: 3720"] Both of my kids go to a charter school and have since kindergarden. We live in a very undesirable district and can't afford a private school. Overall - I love the school. You can read some of my old posts in the past month complaining about how they are handling difficult child's IEP and suspension days, but I honestly do feel they care for my difficult child and try to do what's right for him. But that being said, every charter is different and they often have a "theme" or "philosophy" that is their mainstay. You would be wise to visit the school, both at a planned appointment and as a drop in visitor. Really ask a lot of questions about HOW they teach. Do they plan on growing or expanding? Our school started out 4 years ago with 200 kids and is now at 600 and goes through middle school. Next year they are starting a high school and expect to add another 600 kids over 5 years. It won't be such a small school by then! They've also added a lot of services over those years including Special Education and gifted programs. Anyway, if you aren't happy where you are, it might be worth looking at as an option! Good luck! Michelle [/QUOTE]
