Is Your Child in the Right School? Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a School for Your Child
Wondering if your child’s school is still the right fit? You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not overreacting.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with two of Houston’s top educational consultants to unpack the real, research-backed factors to consider when choosing a school for your child.
Whether you're dealing with daily meltdowns, academic frustrations, or just a gut feeling that something is off, we’ll help you figure out what’s going on—and what to do about it.
We’ll walk through the emotional and academic signs to look for, how to evaluate your current school, and how to start the process of choosing a school for your child with confidence (not overwhelm).
I’m joined by Dee Dee Halpin and Julie Blumberg of Houston School Options, two seasoned experts who’ve helped countless families navigate the maze of choosing schools—from public and private to therapeutic and specialized programs. With decades of experience and deep roots in the Houston area, they’re also the go-to team for finding the best schools in Houston based on each child’s unique needs.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- The top three emotional and academic red flags that might mean it’s time to start choosing schools more intentionally
- What the process of choosing a school for your child really looks like—minus the online overwhelm and mom-guilt
- How to trust your gut and evaluate the most important factors to consider when choosing a school for your child
- Why the “right” school can change over time—and what that means for how to choose a school for your child at different ages
