Don't base your decision on just one year.
Try the school next year and see how it goes.
We had one or two terrible years at our WOTP neighborhood school and I thought of leaving but it has worked out well over the long run.
Teacher leaving in the middle is a very difficult situation for most schools. They often have to use an experienced aide or a long term sub.
It is understandably very difficult to hire someone mid year. Most good teachers already have a job and I don't think the school wants to get stuck with someone
bad. Keep talking to the principal though and make sure the aide is decent and has a lot of support.

Your child has many many more years of school. You will encounter other teachers that you don't like. Look at the big picture. If you move, I would make it for good. Constant moving of schools is not good for children.

Because some people suffer from grass-is-greener syndrome...yeah that's it. Half the city is in charter schools. Some people don't even have an option for and IB as scores are in the 20s.

Gee, it's almost as if you are just all complete bs designed to drain logic and civility from the local thread.

Experienced parent here-- you and yr child will enjoy the local community and involvement with your very own neighborhood school. I would switch. Test scores are not reflective of your child's abilities and my kids had far better literacy going into a private competitive MS than many of their life long private school peers. The more involved local parents the better the school becomes. Good luck!
