[quote=Anonymous]My experience is that public schools do not try or even put the slightest effort into "selling" themselves.  You as the parent are thinking, "I'm trying to decide if I should entrust you with my child for hours and hours every day....and I want info. on what you are going to do with my child."

The public school administrators look at it like, "if you show up, fine.  If you don't, it doesn't matter to me."

OP, do not take their lacksidaisical (?) attitude/effort as a representation of how good the education will be.  Public schools simply don't market themselves AT ALL.  If I were you, I would call the office and make an appointment to talk to the principal.  If they won't give you the appointment, ask for the vice principal.  Forget about the GT stuff -- it will just make you look like another over-eager/pushy parent.  You can broach that subject in your meeting with the principal/VP.

I know how you are feeling, but don't get turned off just by the lack of a coordinated effort to communicate with you.  Talk to parents or go to the PTA meeting -- principal might be there too.[/quote]
