[quote=Anonymous]We are struggling with our gifted 7th grader who left APS for private. straight A's in private. DC is 99.x COGAT, MAP yaddayaddayadda on who gives shit when your kid is in emotional pain.
Not on the spectrum; also gifted musically so in a private consortium as current private does not offer it.

We are in therapy.

We are following the best practices provided by our counselor (empathetic, exposing them to new things, clubs/groups with similar interests/etc); however we are looking for a school that is exceptional for handling these types of children.  We know we cannot social engineer our way out of this developmental challenge.

No tantrums or off the charts behavior; but depression and inability to really make friends.

We are at our wits end.

While the private we are in definitely excels on the feedback loop compared to public; academically they do not deviate from their curriculum  other than offering some on line optional exercises.  APS made exceptions (as long as we provided transport) for grade "exposure" classes a few grades ahead but socially that was even worse.

Our private budget is 50k; willing to move within Virginia for reasonable commute to Arlington area.  
We are also open to DC private schools.

Appreciate any suggestions.

TIA
