It actually works well for DS. This school is, hands down, the best public school in the area. There are some things that I quite like about the school apart from the ill fitting academics. And having worked in public and private schools for a long time, I find this behavior to be odd, but not so odd. Public schools have a lot of incompetent people working in them. I knew that going in to the game.

I think the specials that are offered at this school are good. The student population at the school is perfect for us - extremely diverse with a very large immigrant population. I like my DS hanging out with a lot of the kids from his school.

Of course this can all change on a dime.
