[quote=Anonymous]DC has very successfully attended McLean School for a number of years. For a variety of reasons (some noted below), we are looking for other options for the middle school years. DC has ADHD combined type (presents more as inattentive vs hyperactive these days), anxiety, and a touch of dyslexia. On grade level for reading/language arts but struggles with writing. On or close to grade level for math. Grades are fine but DC will not blow anyone away academically. DC’s main concerns are social. DC is certainly quirky but probably skews more mature and sporty than current cohort. We also don’t live close to the school, which makes socialization outside of school hard. DC has always had plenty of friends at school—a number have left—and is feeling isolated and increasingly unhappy. We are way behind in admissions process for other schools so not sure if we have any options. Any recommendations on what private schools might be a good fit?[/quote]
