[quote=Anonymous]Child is athletic and loves to play all the sports in school which child does each season and has this opportunity for HS if we stay. We recently did testing and learned child has adhd (no behavioral issues), has a significant language disorder impacting ability to write and organize thoughts. Child has major Separation anxiety. Recommended Occupational therapy with hand writing, eating etc.
Small class size recommended. 
Autism was mentioned as a possibility  but not determined after testing. Child refuses meds, needs executive functioning as loses everything daily.

Current school has very small class sizes 10-12 in a class 
Child gets to play all sports
Never bullied 
caring teachers that child enjoys learning from 
I get concerned about the social dynamic of small school. No real friends child wants to connect with. Would prefer to keep to his friends from elementary school on weekends.

We were just offered a spot at an all boys catholic school where we were on waiting list but would come with bigger class with 19-22 kids. Would likely be able to play just one sport but maybe with more kids, I wonder if there would be a better friend group?

I worry though as the other kids at current school welcome my child and never any bullying which may not be case if we change.

Child has no opinion about which school they want to attend. Asked for me to decide.

Any advice?[/quote]
