How about looking up an alternative school locally to you and going and having a chat with them and if you feel appropriate a 1hr flight with an instructor. This would give you an honest but perhaps slightly biased opinion of your current skill level and give you an opportunity to consider whether returning to your previous school feels right or not.
My advice is go with gut instinct, if it feels wrong it is wrong in this case.
