[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the public schools weren’t failing our kids, then maybe it wouldn’t be worth it, but Langley solves for the faults in the public school right now. We started sending our kids to Langley before the pandemic when the teacher couldn’t control the unruly kids in the classroom (in AAP) and we were told that there was nothing we could do about it. And then we now have watched the public school fail in the pandemic (Langley was open the whole time), fail in class sizes (23-26 kids is not an acceptable class size to me in 1st grade with one teacher), and fail to give kids the emotional and academic support they need. Langley has a lot of resources and they are able make it so you don’t have to worry about things like that. At back to school night, Langley noted that they have their biggest student body size ever and the highest retention rate ever (I think it was 96%). Is it perfect? No. But I read somewhere on this board that the difference is like dealing with the DMV vs returning something at Nordstrom’s - if everything goes well, then the DMV isn’t that bad, but the second something goes wrong, then you want better customer service and you won’t get that at public school. But “worth” is a very very personal question. [/quote]

Is there actually good academic support at Langley? My child has ADHD and is medicated but still needs some supports in elementary.[/quote]

There are great academic supports - the reading specialists, especially in the Lower School, are very good. However, without knowing what additional supports you are looking you, you would need to talk to the school. That said, they are not a public school and not required to provide additional classroom accommodations, so I do know that if Langley feels like that can't accommodate your child and it is at the detriment to your child and the others in the classroom, they do suggest that some kids leave.[/quote]
