[quote=Anonymous]My older daughter probably fits a similar profile to yours. We moved her in middle elementary because I felt like she was getting lost in the shuffle. A smaller K-8 was great for her confidence and teachers helped identify her weaknesses and worked to improve them while suggesting testing or therapy for some of the other stuff. She’s now in high school in a well known “top 5” school and is doing very well and feels great about what she is accomplishing. I wouldn’t say she is the tip top of her class by any means but she gets high B’s and low A’s and in addition to her grades she gets a lot of positive reinforcement from her teachers for non academic skills like her kindness, leadership and activism. What you get from private is a lot more of the non-tangible-teachers and administrators that know your kid from year to year and a supportive environment that makes your child feel like they can accomplish more.

It’s not to say that this couldn’t have happened in public, but it wasn’t for us and as the classes and grades were getting bigger and bigger she was getting lost in the shuffle: private made a world of difference in her and there are plenty of similar kids in her school and others. [/quote]
