Of course, the 2 dead hours of driving that the Grayson School would require is bad, too... I hate it when there's no perfect option.
Is it possible to try the school for a while and if you think it's worth it in terms of the money, move closer?
I don't think you're going to be happy with the public school unless they already have an unconventional structure. One of my kids is at a public school where he was accelerated 3 years per math. They align all of the math schedules and combine grades, and it's not hard to do. We have open enrollment which means students can go to a different public school than their neighborhood school so that opens our options. The neighborhood school was a disaster, they wouldn't even accelerate him for math one year. The teacher, of course, said she would differentiate but it never happened. If they say they will differentiate but have no clear plan, run the other way. They all say this.
