Do you know if the McLean School takes medical insurance for part of its tuition like the Lab School does?
Also, are there any thoughts on the school itself? I considering it for high school for my child who has anxiety and depression and auditory memory learning differences. I want a nurturing, supportive environment with a sensitive touch. Thanks! |

I just went to tour
They were pretty clear they didnt focus on emotion and social. I was surprised as most kids with ADHD have difficulties here too |
They cannot deal with any behavior issues and will interpret social and emotional as behavioral. |
Agree that it is a waste of money. |
Couldn’t agree more with the above post. Don’t fall for the hype. |
They are also very punitive in the way they deal with typical middle school behavior. They can only deal with emotionally fragile or non-reactive kids. If a kid laughs at another kid and the kid laughed at complains, the kid that laughs is punished and treated like a bully. Middle school head is the worse. |
NP here. I would love for my kid to go to a middle school that took bullying seriously. |
Are you serious? This sounds like typical pre-teenagery behavior. Well, I guess you have a fragile snowflake will fit right in. |
This is my DD's first year at McLean, and we are delighted with what a kind, supportive environment it has provided. |
I guess you are a parent of a bully. Those are the only people who aren’t against bullying. |
Expelling your child was really for the best. |
My child wasn’t expelled. They are actually thriving in a traditional private high school and have transitioned to the real world nicely. How about yours? |
Wow this post has really hit a nerve with 16:07. Yikes. |
I’ve heard turnover in the middle school is high and few kids stay for high school. Is that true? |
