Most of the local districts don't offer anything for 1st, so comparatively speaking, 30 minutes per day is good. I don't think "in depth" is bad either. I would try it for next year and if it doesn't work out, it sounds like the other school could be a possibility later.

I do think it's unfortunate that children can't do both math/science and reading/writing, but then, I suppose they might as well just offer a full-time class at that point.
