My son will be entering Pre-K this fall and I come to find out that the school in our district is not the one I thought it was. Is there any way to register to a different school? (both schools are only a block from my residence and I happen to be right in the middle). Is there any way to make some sort of appeal to the boe?

Other options would be charter school (we entered the lottery for LCCS but ended up on the waiting list with a high number). Not sure what other good charter schools are around as I can't really find any other feedback online nor do we know any families that go to any other charter schools in JC.

Last option would be to look into private school in JC. Most of our friends who have had children moved out of JC just because of the school system and high crime rates but we're here to stay just because we can't see ourselves moving anywhere else. A lot has changed since I went to grammar school. Since when did finding the right school for your child become so difficult? lol
