I would recommend finding a private instructor. In my opinion, most of the time it works out better then flying in a school. For example, most flight schools will require you to complete 3 stage checks (before solo, before solo x-country, before check ride) with instructor other then yours. They will tell you, it's for your own safety, own good etc. However, in my opinion, a good instructor can determine better when to solo his student, because he spends far more time with him in the airplane, then a check instructor.
I can give you some contacts of very good instructors in KLDJ, but you will have to work hard for yourself and come prepared. I would suggest that you finish your knowledge test before you solo. PM me for contacts.
