The middle paragraph is not too far off from my time in the system and that was 2000-2007. For high school we're waving options between her attending my wife's school (if she is there 10 yrs from now), classical, and if all else fails private.

Aftercare wouldn't be an issue. I am fortunate that my job is fully remote (has always been), so she would just stay home with me once school is out.

Very unfortunate! My wife was offered a job at PCTA and she declined it in favor for Davies. She heard a lot of what your saying when she asked around.

Thanks for the input. Will have to keep a look out for the meetings. I can't make tonight's due to an emergency. Thank you for the heads up though!

It's definitely a strange situation. Our taxes are Providence but literally everything else is Johnston. The zip code is a Johnston zip code but when we get mail from town hall (Providence) the zip code isn't even the same but it is the Johnston zip code online. In any case, my kids are mixed race, I'm Hispanic and my wife is white. We want them to be in a well integrated school system, but from what I can tell I think Johnston is, too. Especially, at the expense of a better education/experience. Anyway, there def were some challenges in the school system when I was coming up. Can't say I was the most prepared for college, but fortunately I've always been studious and hardworking and caught up quickly. Given what you are saying, based on your friends experience, I'm assuming that our option will be Johnston. We've only received mail from them. The Providence angle came from daycare, which she goes to a Providence daycare and that is where we had to fill out paperwork for a district representative to visit the daycare and analyze all of the kids entering kindergarten. Originally, we were not all that concerned but it seems like it is a shit show right now in PPSD.

It would be Anthony Carnevale for elementary.
