[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m likely one of your neighbors.
If you have any concerns regarding special education or speech or potential issues with reading/writing, then key might not be a good fit.  Only bad thing I’ve ever heard about Key is that it’s not a good place if your kid needs an iep or would have qualified for gifted services.  [/quote]

How do gifted services work? DC is doing second grade math and currently reading the Little House series herself, we had figured anew language would be a fun academic challenge in a way regular K might not. [/quote]
I can't speak to other schools, but at asfs they give you a test in 2nd grade to see if you qualify.  There's a nomination process if you don't.  I don't think there's anything special until third grade, and I think even then it's pretty low key with just some pull out time and extra homework.  
Don't take the criticism of key super seriously-- the gifted services thing was someone who went to our pool said.  The special ed thing is something I've heard from multiple people though, so there might be merit to it.
They are both good schools.  [/quote]
