I agree with above except in circumstances when the child is experiencing so much stress at school and negative/counterproductive social experiences that it is doing more harm than good to be in school. There are ways to find social experiences for kids who are homeschooled--it's just easier in some situations than others. Learning can happen better when stress levels aren't super high. OPs child sounds like he is doing pretty well overall in the school environment. That's why I encouraged finding school options. Summer is coming OP. YOu can always test out homeschooling for a month this summer, even just half time, so that if you don't find a good school match down the line you have your sea legs.


I still wouldn't encourage homeschooling in this type of situation. FCPS (and I assume others) will move a student to a different school. That is what we did.

Not MCPS. Except in extreme circumstances. Many kids suffer until their parents decide to pull them out for private or homeschooling.
