[quote=Anonymous]Not meant to be snarky, but how do you know your child's academic achievement is one of the best? I would think that if that were true, it would be reflected in the report card grade with the teacher comments adding context on behavior?

You mention extra curricular efforts...are you saying your child is achieving in a subject outside of class beyond what you think other children are in school?  If so, that doesn't necessarily mean your child is achieving in class in school. Trying to think of an example...suppose a child can read a high level book at home and do so quickly. That doesn't necessarily mean that when they are in RLA class, that  they can follow instructions on an assignment related to a book and produce a high level output. (think executive functioning issues - there are very bright kids that don't always succeed in class)

It does sound like you may need a different program to meet your child's needs. But be sure you are being honest with yourself on whether your child is actually achieving in class. You might want to have them assessed so that when you look for a new school, you are looking for the right features to be a good match for your child.[/quote]
