Thanks all. I feel the unfortunate pull out to the suburbs. It's interesting that few people have 1st hand experience with the Cambridge Public Schools. There must be quite a few bright kids given the location.
Acera School sounds great -- does anyone have any experience with it?
My children don't go Acera, but I have mentioned it on this board, so sometime people ask me about it in private messages. I asked a colleague (very bright as is her husband) who has sent her son to the school for a few years if he will be continuing this coming academic year, and she replied as follows:
"Yes we are. We continue to be impressed and pleased that the school has accommodated his learning curve beautifully. He gets the academics he needs during the school day, so we don't have to supplement after school and he can just be a kid at home. He also has a good social circle with other kids who share his interests and intensity.
We like it well enough that my daughter will also attend next year."
Of course, that's a sample size of one, and there have been parents who tried it and then left.
