[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are US citizens who have been overseas for all of our 12 year-old's education.  We are coming from an international school environment where age cutoffs were different, and our child has never been in a US school.  We're looking for a house in MoCo and would like our child to repeat the current grade -- Grade 7 -- in MCPS next year.  Going by MCPS age cut-offs, our child should be in Grade 6 this year anyway, but the international school transcript shows Grade 7.  Any advice for convincing MCPS middle schools to let us enroll for Grade 7 for next year?  Thanks.[/quote]

My nephew did this.  He actually attended a top 3 DMV private.  He was getting all As but was getting bullied a lot so his parents decided to just enroll him in their zoned public school which was a 10/10 on GS for what it’s worth.  He has a summer birthday and was also immature and they used those factors to argue that he should repeat. I think you should try it.  Good luck.  [/quote]

Which top 3 DMV private?
