You want your child's school to meet the same goals of high academic achievement you have set.You may want your child's school to reflect the values of your family and community. In other words, you want to choose a school that is a good fit for your child. In an increasing number of communities in our nation, you now have the ability to do so.This booklet, Choosing a School for Your Child, is a type of "decision tool" that can help you navigate the process of choosing a school. It explains some of the public school choices now available in many communities and covers private school options that may be available as well.It outlines steps that you can follow to help you make a thoughtful choice, and it includes questions that you might want to ask when going through the process.In addition, this booklet highlights new options for your child's education provided in the federal law, the No Child Left Behind Act.
