How to get your child into a better school if neighborhood school is insufficient?

The school is not meeting the state’s level or my expectations for my children. The children suffer because of lack of control in the classrooms . The teachers spend time being displinaries rather than educators for the over stimulated children

Decide which school you’d prefer your child to go to, go in an talk to them and explain your situation. Often they just require you write a letter explaining why you want your child to attend a school that’s not assigned to your Zip Code and that’s it. I’ve done it before, it’s quite simply. Also, Public schools get funding dependent upon student numbers and attendance, so they want students. It really shouldn’t be a problem.

There is always the option of a parochial or private school.

There is a provision in the No Child Left behind Act that if a school does not meet the standards for a number of years that it must provide free tutoring and after that the opportunity to transfer to another school.

You can also apply for a transfer to another school depending upon the district policy. One good way is if the other school offers a program that is not available in your school and your child is interested in that program.
