Does anyone have any information or comments about the Emerson Charter School in the Pearl?  I am curious to know if they can accomodate an active boy.  Mianne, mianne009@gmail.com

I have family moving to Portland from Brazil for one year in January and they have 2 kids: one who will be in fourth grade and the other in 11th grade.  They are thinking of putting their children in Rieke and Wilson.  Is there anyone who has children at either of these schools?  I have been on the websites and they both look very nice, but it would be great to get some comments from parents familiar with the schools.

My family is moving to Portland next year and I am seeking advice for school choices (public or private) for my 10-year-old daughter who is speech delayed/ADD and needs smaller, individualized curriculum and small class sizes.  She also receives speech therapy. She currently attends a school in Sarasota, Florida called Dreams are Free which is a private school for average to high intelligent kids with learning disabilities. They teach the kids in ways that they can learn.  I would prefer a public school and am looking at homes in Milwaulkie, Oregon City, West Linn, Lake Oswego, and may SW Portland.  Does anyone have any feedback on the schools in these communities...positive or negative?  Any help or guidance would be appreciated!  Thanks so much.
