Another option is a small charter school (that's what they are called in Texas). They are free and accredited generally, but much smaller and more individualized than a public school. My hairdresser and his wife homeschooled their sons, but once they reached middle school, they felt the need to let them work more in a school setting, but didn't want to public school them. They found a well-run charter school (you do have to be careful; all charter schools aren't created equal) that they have used ever since. Their youngest son was accepted into a technical high school charter school that focuses on the use of technology and specifically in media and film-making. He's really enjoying it. Perhaps a smaller group environment like that would be the best of both worlds.
