Do you have public school choice in your area?
If so, what kinds of options are available to you? Have you had any positive or negative experiences with public school choice?
Our district has school choice there are 5 different elementary school, three middle schools and three high school, they are also offering a High School/University combination next year where the kids will be able to earn their diploma and an associates degree. I'm not really sure about how it works as my children attend a private school.. I live in Indiana which also offers the school choice voucher plan which pays all or part (depending on income) of private school tuition (wish we qualified two in private school is expensive).
We live in a school choice state, meaning we aren't charged tuition if we choose to send our child to a different district than the one we live in. Plus, we have tons of charter schools. Not all of the choices include transportation though, and so that's a factor for some families which makes choosing the right school a harder decision.
The district where we live offers magnet schools too. Plus, we have a ton of charter schools in our city. We can enroll in pretty much any school if there is room, but even within district, the transportation options are limited unless you go with a neighborhood or magnet school.
To be honest, I found the choices overwhelming while we were shopping around for a junior high this upcoming school year. But I guess having too many choices is probably better than being stuck with a bad school. I'm just hoping the right choice was made for junior high.
No, we have no choice. We are assigned schools by residence. We only have one public high and middle school. We have four elementary schools and our kids are shipped to the closest schools.
Who chooses what they wear?
