Choosing A School for Your Child

http://www.ed.gov/parents/schools/find/choose/index.html
This guidebook provides details about the school choice options families have under the federal No Child Left Behind act and lists the different types of public schools (district, charter, magnet, virtual, etc.) and nonpublic schools from which they can choose. The document is also a workbook designed to help families select a school that will be the best fit for their child by identifying the student's learning style and matching it with the school that will best meet their needs. Several lists of questions for families to consider about an individual school’s environment, faculty, curriculum, approach to learning, academic performance, safety, behavior policy, facilities, services, and extracurricular activities are provided.
