I will speak as a parent who decided to try out public school for my child after preschool at Magellan. Magellan exceeded our expectations and our decision to leave had nothing to do with being dissatisfied. We are zoned for one of the top public elementary schools in Austin and thought we would try it out for a year. We are still in the Magellan community as my younger child will begin preschool. The faculty, staff and parents are so wonderful at Magellan and it will be difficult to beat. Speaking with other parents who have decided to also try out public school, it seems to me that it doesn't have to do with being unhappy at Magellan but maybe a decision based on high taxes for a school district and feeling the need to try it out.
