[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, I'm hoping to get your thoughts on a school for my DS who will enter 3rd grade this fall.  We've applied to both.  Assuming we get into both, which one would you recommend? Some background information about him/our family:

DS is a little shy, sensitive, and loves to read and do arts & crafts.  We've had him in a private school since pre-K.  In 1st grade, the "jocks" excluded him from recess sports and that impacted him a lot, confidence-wise, unfortunately.  He is actually decent in sports (currently in a neighborhood swimming league & on a soccer team) but still refuses to play sports at school during recess.  As we are relocating from another state and do not know a soul, we are hoping to find a school that will be welcoming, caring, and will pay attention to him.  Academics are important too of course but we prefer not to put him in a ultra competitive setting.

We will be in Alexandria and are zoned for Samuel Tucker ES which I actually heard is decent for Alexandria.  We have not completely ruled it out, therefore, but considering his personality, etc. we think a private school will work out better.  Thank you!![/quote]
