Home district for Kindergarten was not good at all. Blech!

Private school for 1st through 5th grade (grade skip from 1st to 3rd) was a fantastic place, but came with a $ cost.

Open enrolled to the neighboring district. They were on board with a grade skip into 7th. Plus, put her in the accelerated math program. Plus, put her in the G/T program. Plus, in 8th grade, allowed her to take three HS classes. Overall, the middle school may not have been perfect, but for a public school it certainly was better than average, and they were trying to make things work.

Continued into HS in the neighboring district. This HS is very much into pushing AP classes (in my opinion, perhaps too much). This might not be great for the average learner, but it works out well for our, now 10th grade, DD. She did have to fight a little bit to be allowed to take two foreign languages at the same time, but the school did relent. They are also accepting of taking classes through local colleges for HS credit, which may be good when her senior year rolls around.

Overall, after leaving our home school district, we've been pretty happy.

Best of luck,
