[quote=Anonymous]I would have him finish out the school year where he is. I'd tell the kid to do his best on comps knowing that he's on his way out/has a parachute regardless. In your shoes, under somewhat different circumstances--my straight A student wasn't happy without a more normal school experience--I left for a VA public MS for 7th grade. I didn't see an alternative in DC I could afford that looked like an improvement over BASIS for the kid. The new school ignored his previous grades but gave him various assessments during the first week--for math, for language, for instrumental music playing--then placed him in appropriate classes. He's thriving at the new school, really enjoys band (as a class), performing arts, after-school competitive sports, math as advanced as at BASIS, great library, good group of friends. [/quote]
