I'm really excited about it because it's adjacent a lake/nature preserve and they extended their play area into the forest. It's also pretty big for a small town school! I especially can't wait to walk her to school each day :)</p> <p>But for high school, I'm not sure. It depends on where she wants to go because our town doesn't have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to/page/2#post-530049 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 13:35:31 +0000 lomom 530049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to be able to send them to public school, but the schools around here are just awful. And there's this whole busing thing, where as a parent you really lose a lot of control over where your child goes to school. </p> <p>We're considering Catholic schools for pre-k through 8th and then (if we're even still in this area) looking into applying to magnet high schools (that are much much better than the regular neighborhood schools). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to/page/2#post-529577 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:17:41 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 529577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: awww, thanks! you're so sweet! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to/page/2#post-529573 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:16:36 +0000 regberadaisy 529573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I wish you were a teacher at my zoned public school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to/page/2#post-529571 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 22:14:39 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 529571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>public school! ideally at the same school where i teach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to/page/2#post-528373 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 19:47:46 +0000 runsyellowlites 528373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We homeschool.

Between you and @shopaholic I'm going to be the best adopted adult EVER. </p> <p>We'll go with public schools, where we live it's rare to even find private schools and if you do they're crazy expensive and that's just not realistic for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to#post-528332 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 19:14:49 +0000 PrincessBaby 528332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're building a house in an area with awesome public schools, and that's one reason we pulled the trigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to#post-528321 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 19:09:32 +0000 regberadaisy 528321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: very interesting. Those are all points that I wish to address with our children. I know with the Waldorf program they offer "summer vacation courses". Do you know if the Friends school do anything similar. I would be open to something like that for a summer program! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to#post-528269 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 18:26:44 +0000 Alivoo01 528269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More than likely public since the schools in our neighborhood are highly ranked. Even if they weren't, the nearby cities also have highly ranked schools. One of them just built a new stadium that cost $60 million <b>(MILLION!!!!)</b> that has a seating capacityof 18,000!!! Their performing arts center is also ridiculously swanky. It houses 5 cafes that are equivalent to your swanky local cafes on the streets. All in a HIGH SCHOOL. Here's a link to some pictures of their performing arts center. <a href="http://www.allenisd.org/cms/lib/TX01001197/Centricity/Domain/2320/PAC%20Photos/PAC%20Photo%20Gallery%202011.ppsx" rel="nofollow">http://www.allenisd.org/cms/lib/TX01001197/Centricity/Domain/2320/PAC%20Photos/PAC%20Photo%20Gallery%202011.ppsx</a></p> <p>This isn't the school our kids will be going to but just saying it's an option should we not mind driving our kids a lil way to something "nice". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to#post-528181 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 17:01:47 +0000 PurplePumps 528181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Public for sure.

I absolutely love our current town but its only downside is the school system. It’s not terrible by any means but it’s far from great and I’m not willing to send my kid there. If we end up buying a house here, we’ll explore private school options. If we buy a house in either of the towns that are on the top of our list, public all the way. We’re not religious so Catholic is definitely out and I’m in no way qualified to home school (nor would I want to). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-school-do-you-plan-on-sending-lo-to#post-526885 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 08:54:00 +0000 blackbird 526885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Public!
