Aside from the multi-age my kids actually go to schools very similar to what you (Sweetie) want.
Actually my first daughter did do multi-age K but she didn't like it because when the "big boys" (8-y-o boys) did not line up, instead they would race around, roughhouse and unintentionally intimidate the girls, from K - 2. They weren't being naughty. It was a natural consequence of the system and their ages. It was her number one complaint about the school. She likes the discipline of her school now because she doesn't have to worry about the big boys.Other than that it was great.
I agree that no recess is a crime. That is insanity. EVERYONE needs breaks!
What state are you in? Those conditions sound awful.
