[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I would not send my children there unless I knew all of my children would be in that cohort.[/quote]

Then it sucks you have a broken kid. The normal ones do better than the private school kids.[/quote]

OP here.  I don't think that sending my kids to private means my kids are broken kids.  I think one has LD and the other benefits from the curriculum of this particular private school.  I also am insulted that you think public kids would do better than private school kids when you have no context of what the private school is like.  I think your kid probably would have done a ton better at our private school.  It is a wonderful place.  I am doing research because I don't think that a school makes a kid better or not.  I think there's a right environment that sets up a kid for academic and social success and as a parent, I want to offer that opportunity to my kids.

To the last PP of the thread - a hard no to GWMS having known a number of families there but we have less knowledge of kids HS aged and thus I just don't know how HS v MS.  I am aware of the violence that happens around Bradlee living in Alex but I don't think that my kids are going to be hanging out with either the top echelon as the PP put it nor the bottom as it were.  It's a big place and I'm pretty sure they would fit around the middle areas.  Because we have neighborhood friends in public and we came up through public, I think my kids would be able to fit in.  But I am just trying to find out how "rough" it is compared to GWMS and what it's like culturally.  [/quote]
