Recent Feedback on Lab MS

[Anonymous]

Looking at Lab 6th grade for a DC with dyslexia, who needs a lot a remediation in that area, but who is interested in math and science and doing well in those areas.

DC is currently at a DCPS with and IEP and doing outside 1-on-1 tutoring.

Wondering if current MS parents feel that the reading support was better at LAB in MS vs. 1-on-1 tutoring and if the science and math was at least as rigorous as DCPS.

TIA

My DC is in "accelerated" math at Lab.
The class had a mix of students from different grades due to students having different strengths. My child is 1 grade level advanced - but there was at least one student in the class who was 2 grade levels advanced.

For science - I am uncertain how "rigorous" DCPS is. I have children who went through DCPS MS science at Deal with 30 kids in a classroom and a science teacher who was out more than he was in.
Lab has a robotics MS class and the students have participated in local competitions.

It's easier to supplement strengths than weaknesses.

We switched to SN school because my child was overwhelmed by not keeping up during school and had no energy/motivation for tutoring. The SN school that otherwise met her needs wasn't rigorous enough in math, but she was happy to do enrichment math activities -- more fun for her and she wasn't as exhausted after school.
