Signs Your Child Might Need to Change Schools
Traditional schools with larger classrooms and preset whole-class curriculum are sometimes not a good fit for some children. When a school isn’t a good fit, children often give indications of that with their attitude and performance. If your child exhibits any of the following signs, it may be time to look into whether another school could be a better fit.
- Your Child Isn’t Challenged Enough
Does your child constantly complain of boredom, get assigned busy work every day, or get into trouble for moving around or talking during class? ... If your child consistently finishes assignments before classmates, her current school may not be challenging her enough, and she may benefit from a change in schools.
- Your Child Refuses to Go to School
If your child continually complains that she hates school, refuses to go to school, or fakes illness, it may be a sign that her school is not a good fit.
- Your Child’s Needs Are Not Addressed
If your child is lagging behind because his needs are not being met, it’s a clear sign that your child will benefit from a school change.

-
"...we're going beyond grade level TEKS because the program is tailored to each students' needs..."
-
"Because of the small class size, I can create custom learning plans for each student. I can also change and adapt [the learning plan] ..."
