[quote=Anonymous]What are private schools looking for when it comes to admissions for PK and K? Are they looking at the kid or the parents/family?
[b]At PK/K, they are looking at both.[/b]

Kid is currently in PK3 in a title 1 dcps public east of the park. But he is a late Sept bday, so whenever he enters private, he would be repeating a grade right? We would like that to happen. DCPS doesnt allow red shirting but he would very much benefit from not being so young for his grade. [b]this is fine, have him repeat. It happens all the time.[/b]

How important is the teacher reccomendation and is there certain things that these recs should contain or mention? I sorta guess his public school pk teacher writes many of these very often. [b]Don't worry about this. Let the teacher do what they do.[/b]

We are a two mom family. Is this the kind of diversity that helps in admissions or not so much? [b]This will help at a few of the top schools.[/b]

Our child is very very shy and reserved and anxious. He is amazing once he comes out of his shell but this takes a long time and he struggles with anxiety. Part of why we are considering privates is we are looking for a calmer less chaotic environment for him. Is it ok to be open about this or will that harm him in the admissions process? [b]They are used to this.[/b]
