[quote=Anonymous]My kid is currently in 3rd grade at a DCPS bilingual school, which we love.  We just received a diagnosis of dyslexia, along with test results that indicate giftedness in a bunch of areas.  I'd love to hear from families with similar kids:

1. If you sent your kid to private school, which one? Tell me why you like it?  We can afford private, but hadn't considered it before the diagnosis because we are generally satisfied with our public.

2. Would you recommend a regular private school or a private school specifically focused on dyslexia for an academically talented kid with ADHD and dyslexia?  She has no behavior problems and is a rule-follower. She doesn't like chaos in her classroom (though has learned to deal with some amount of it in large DCPS classes).  She loves math, problem-based learning, experiments, etc.  She also loves books and creative writing, but she struggles with spelling and speed (does great with audio books, but her reading is very slow).

Thoughts on the best path?  We live in NW DC (east of the park).

Thanks![/quote]
