Our local public doesn't offer clubs until high school. If a child is unhappy due to no academic challence and not learning how to learn then I think it is worth taking a chance. I wouldn't let lack of clubs stand in my way but maybe that's because there are so many afterschool clubs around here.
Excellent teachers are the seeds and soil of excellent education.
Can you start an afterschool club for your childs favorite activity? I would find that easier than creating academic challenge after school.
