As for would I send my kids? Depending on location I would definately consider it.

I see a STEM school as a school for all kinds of learners. The classes would be designed to ensure all students can access and understand mathematics (and other subjects) deeply so they can connect what they learn to the real world.
I would also like to see this school as a place where kids who want to work at a faster pace are able and encouraged to do so, while kids that need extra support or just take more time to cement ideas can work at the pace that works best for them.
Overall, I see a STEM school as a high-tech school where students get to create, innovate and problem solve while engaging in a lot of hands-on activities that integrate the whole curriculum, while focusing on science, tech, engineering and math.
