[quote=Anonymous]If you have enough money for private but so much that you wouldn't feel it to send a kid there, I would try to stay with public school but then do a lot of outside enrichment. Since grades are not an issue, I would focus on cool summer programs and camps, really great family trips to areas of interest, you can submit your kid's scores for Johns Hopkins CTY so they can take enrichment courses, etc. If you want to take another go at private schools, you will likely have much better luck next year at a 6th grade entry. At 5th grade, the schools are only filling places left open by someone leaving. That means maybe one or two spots at some, but not all, schools. There is nothing wrong with your kid or your family. Its just a numbers game at a non-entry year. [/quote]
