sycamore school

Yes, it is very small! It is still just a few years old, so it is growing gradually. I forget the goal but I think it is currently about 65 students and the final plan is 120 ... something along those lines. They like to say that it is "intentionally small" and it is clear that there is no way the school could operate the way that it does if it were much larger. Kids get a huge amount of individualized attention.

My child has made a couple good friends and is totally fine with it socially, but he has never relied on it exclusively. He has friends from other activities as well.

It is a very warm, welcoming school and in that way offers something totally different from the nearby public high schools. I am not totally sure, though, which student population it ultimately hopes to serve. It seems like a total mix now. Personally, I know a mix of kids who have ADHD or anxiety or just didn't have a good experience at their school and wanted a change. There are some very bright kids there.
