It really makes a difference if the school is willing to work with you. Ours was a very large regional public school system (725 in my S’s graduating class), which covered the complete range of demographics. We were concerned at first that we would meet with resistance. But both the middle school and high school administration were flexible. We had to do a bit of talking to get past a few teachers who tried to throw out roadblocks, but in the end I think the school wanted to see the the kids succeed.
