<p>We are familiar with the Gatton Academy and think it is an amazing school which our daughter would love. (Best public school in the country for that matter - and in KY!) It is close and free and it would be a great fit. However, it is competitive, and getting more competitive each year. I would hate to wait it out, put all our eggs in that basket, and have her not be accepted. This is something her dad and I have talked about on several occasions, and I think it is too much of a risk for the wait. Outside of that, no, we have no other public school options. And, only one private school for high school within an hour’s drive, and it’s not great.</p>
