Yes, because that is how my school was!
Supports & promotes LGBTQ+?
I live in a red state, so thatās sadly difficult to find but I absolutely hope toā¦
A school that has uniforms? (it isnāt common here, unless it is a religious school)
I spent all 12 years myself in uniform. Might look less cool, but the good things are it lessens āgapā between the students and thereās no need to think what to wear today, tomorrow, etc. So yes, if it exists, absolutely. But like you said it is rare here and we donāt plan to send kids to religious schoolā¦
Would you prefer private or public?
Private if it was a non-religious school and within our family budget. There are a couple of private schools that fit this description, so we will tour them and put ourselves on the waiting list when the time is right.
ā¦students had to take a 1.5 hour bus ride (or other mode of transportation) to and from?
No way, Iād rather homeschool.
Focuses heavily on reading/writing/maths with little science, music/art, P.E.?
Depends on what my child is interested in. Likely no if it sets my child behind in the long run.
Is a school for only people of that childās gender?
No. I would love for my child to be immersed with people of all types (that was worded strange but you get what I mean 
)
Where your best friend is your childās teacher?

Sure. Not a problem at all
[name_u]An[/name_u] alternative school?
Yes, but the school would really need to feel right.
We seriously looked into both Montessori and Steiner, and there were aspects I liked of both, but neither seemed quite right for us: Steiner didnāt seem like it would help extend our early reading child (though to be honest I figured sheād still learn that at home and I still DID want to send her), and the Montessori we looked at seemed very ācoldā, not warm or nurturing even with the young children and not very inclusive either, and had rules like only 2 children at a time in the sand pit.
Would you send your child to a school where they donāt give out any kinds of awards or certificates for academic excellence?

iād consider other factors about it, as if it was a child with a gift with something it would be nice to have a school that acknowledges it. however, if they are the type of child who wouldnāt get anything then more yes then no.
with a boarding house? 
Yes, but Iām not sure Iād let them stay in the boarding house. Iād rather it just be close to our home and they walk there every morning or something.
Where the school is a certain religion (I mean like the Catholic schools, [name_m]Christian[/name_m] schools, Jewish schoolsā¦)?
No. Weāre not religious ourselves and my child has very sciencey, questioning mindā¦ so I can imagine too many questions might come up 
A school where they donāt do any art?

There would probably be more factors to consider, but generally, no.
