[quote=Anonymous]You can't lump these schools together. It really depends on the school. One suggestion is to look at the school itself. Usually things like extracurricular activities are on the website. If not, contact the school. Another thought- is there a PTA listserv? If so you can join it now and see if it is active. We are zoned for a focus school that has an excellent sense of community, etc. However, after a number of years at the school, my child moved to another school for an HGC program. At that school there was almost no parental involvement and almost no extracurricular activities. In fact, every year there was a serious risk that there would not be a PTA because they couldn't get anyone to step up to be president, etc. That PTA listserv was pretty dead (it existed but very few posts). The home school was extremely active. [/quote]
