I'm very interested in what you decide, so please keep us posted.
We are in a similair situation, our school isn't rigid when it comes to teachers, they are very caring and understanding, but we do get a lot of homework (not as much as you but close) and the standards are pretty high.
Our oldest biodaughter, with no issues, can struggle at times, but we have great communication with the teacher and the administration and she is doing well.
Our adopted son, who is mildly delayed, is supposed to go to this school for K next year. There is no way he can keep up with their cirruiculum, we already know that, so we are looking at different options for him.
One is to send him to a private school, one which looks great, but is expensive so a definite drawback, and being singled out as the 1 of our 4 children going to a different school.... I don't know how that would work for this child, his same-aged sister fine, but him, I have concerns. The other would be to keep him in a private pre-K program and then send him to the local school the following year, which is fine in theory (and we could afford it) but that will put him in the same year as his little brother (also adopted but not delayed) and if we do that we lose some of the services he is already getting. Or we may push to send him to a different county school with more services targeted at his needs, the county does not like to do this and I don't know if it will be worth it if he would eventually have to repeat anyway.
So I am very interested in what you decide and why.
I believe in going with your gut, but you have to do what is right for the entire family. I don't know if I would pull a child out of a school she was doing fine in, any transition is hard, so changing at the next school year would be a much better option in my opinion, but this is your family and only you would know best.
Good Luck!
