[quote=Anonymous]My DC entered Whitman at 9th from a small private school and had a great experience. Sports helped a lot in terms of getting socially integrated. DC doesn't have any LDs so that wasn't an issue but the workload can be challenging. The counselors can help with appropriate class selection. Don't be afraid to take on on level class if needed, rather then honors or AP. Focus the more challenging classes on his passions. As others have said, he will need to not only self advocate but also speak up in class. DC found there was always a group of super engaged students (DC was one of them) but also kids who were quiet and didn't speak up. The classes are big enough that the teacher isn't going to draw out the quiet kids when there are plenty of kids engaged in the class. [/quote]
