I have another option for you to consider. You can do halftime schooling and homeschool the rest. Many districts allow this (it happens in Oregon, I'm sure of that). My general worry with homeschooling is that the child ends up being overly sheltered. No, school isn't exactly the real world, but most people in the real world came from public schools. I'd suggest trying out public school first and to see what your son thinks of it. If you're an active parent you can learn what holes he has in his learning and address those yourself.

I assume that you've gone to the public schools and talked with the school board, administrators, and teachers and have some reasons why you don't like the public schools in your area... what are they? That might help understand what to base your decision on.
