[quote=Anonymous]My experience at a school like the one your 3rd grader is at, they have too many struggling learners in older grades (ours is the Covid-times young elementary kids who are now in 4th-7th) and they can’t support everyone. So the extra diagnosis and support effort is because they are trying to identify needs they don’t have the resources the serve through middle school and gently counsel out if needed. I believe that our k-8 school felt badly burned by its wait-and-see approach because it became known as a place where kids with needs who stay in mainstream private and avoid public but still get their needs met. But HS admissions became challenging and the school struggles to retain gifted kids and maintain leveling. The gifted kids’ families felt they didn’t have a strong peer group in their academic classes. [/quote]
