EastnWest,
It was rough last year. The school was in it's first year and we were dealing with 2e issues. It is awesome this year. They are integrating the environmental theme more and more throughout the curriculum and really emphasizing kids being outdoors. We have good teachers.:) It's still not a gifted school, but it is as close as I'm going to get for free in this area (that doesn't require me to homeschool).
