Two years ago, I enrolled DS in a public charter school that was just formed for a couple years. It advertised itself as using GATE curriculum to teach kids, but anyone could apply. It is a district charter school (as opposed to the state charter school). The district was hostile to that charter school and it was folded a year later. The next year, some of the teachers formed a school, so we went with them.
I'm sorry that this didn't go well, but it does illustrate that idea that if the school folds, something wonderful might grow out of the ashes, such as a new mentor relationship, or a whole new school. If the first teacher had been a good fit, then by the second year the school might have gotten it's act together, and been a viable option. No gaurentees, but life is good that way sometimes.
