    I have to say that having dealt intensively with schools both in Colorado and New Mexico (top rated districts in both locations) I'm not impressed. Too much high level control of what is taught and how; the schools have been hogtied by "No child left behind" and all the standardized testing. Now they teach the test, and the test is everything. No Child Left Behind would be more accurately described as No Child Allowed To Succeed; it's all about catering to the lowest academic need and ignoring everything else. All I can say is, do your research, find a good curriculum, put some effort into it yourselves and your child will do well. The only factor you have to put extra effort into is the social one; but there are home school groups out there that band together for this as well as parent support.
