Unlimited time for anyone???

This is exactly the kind of student who falls through the cracks in public school. No disability, no individualized support, but not ready to be independent.

By high school it is already too late. No school is going to be holding their hand anymore.

Wrong. That is what 594s and IEPs are for.

We’re trying to figure out whether there are any schools who would take a kid who would likely be a B/C student and is not an athlete. We live in Alexandria.

If you can handle the commute, St Andrew's Episcopal in Potomac is a good option for an average student.

Sorry, but based on OP’s description, I don’t think SAES is a good fit. Came here to suggest McLean (in Potomac). Good friends there who have been very happy and kid sounds very similar to yours. I don’t know the ins and outs of sports requirements, but most privates require some sports (although that doesn’t mean those sports are super competitive).
