I stressed about school for my older kid for a couple of years, and then found a very small, very laid-back private school, and my son attends 3 days a week. We all love it.
Here's a link if you want to check it out.

Jinx does it not scare you that only "over 50%" of graduates go to college from that school?
In perspective the public school that I went to had a rate of over 98%.
