Private schools are very popular in the area due to individualized attention smaller class sizes more resources and specialized background (ie: religious affiliation). These schools also tend toperform well on state-wide testing. Muscogee County School District has a number of title 1 funded schools for students with lower income backgrounds but there are also specialized magnet schools which offer specific courses or curriciulm within the MCSD and Phenix City Schools.

Does anyone have information regarding homeschooling and/or homeschool groups/co-ops on or around Ft. Benning? We will be arriving at Benning in July 2011 from Texas. Our youngest is still at home and homeschooling, but will have just turned 17 by the time we arrive at Benning, so outside the GA compulsory attendance requirement. I am also wondering about activities for her age group (14-17) like sports, community theater and other programs, 4H, parks and rec, volunteer opportunities, etc. I was also wondering what the general consensus was regarding living in Alabama vs. Georgia as a homeschooler, if we end up living off post?

Any insight and information would be most welcome and greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
