We are coming from a charter school in Southern CA that focuses on Art and Global Education. Are there any schools that have a similar focus?

Golden Valley Charter school is a terrible school. Their test scores are awful and they have dropped their "waldorf" curriculm to only 2-3 classes. Spanish is not offered in the upper grades and the middle school classes are not high school preparing at all. We feel stuck, because our children have been so dummied down in lieu of the art aspect that they would drown outside of this school
I am told the tocklin acamemy is a best alternative... but very difficult to get in via lottery system.
Although we reside in Roseville, our kids have attended Rocklin Academy Charter School in Rocklin, only a couple of miles away. It offers World History, the arts, spanish, and a wonderful science program K-6. RA has a very active parent community. We have been very pleased with the rich academics, while our children have been happy and challenged in a safe and engaging learning environment.
check out Golden Valley Charter in Orangevale; the IB elementary in Loomis ( I don't know their name, I think it's a charter) and the California Montessori project.
