[quote=Anonymous]Hi op, I am also in Chicago. In case you aren’t aware (and maybe you are…just refuting a pp from above) CPS will not allow children to repeat in K or 1st. If you go private for an extra year of pk4 and then try to enroll in k in cps, your child will automatically be placed in 1st, based on age. So if you want to hold back, you will need to commit to private for the next few years.

I have a middle schooler who sounds similar to your child, and CPS has been wonderful for us. After hoping DC would catch up, we requested an IEP & received one in 2nd grade. Got a full neuropsychological evaluation in 3rd. Turns out my kid has dyslexia. Learning a foreign language is very difficult, as DC is struggling with learning English. Immersion would have been a disaster for us. You can call cps Office of Access & Enrollment to request an IEP evaluation (even if you are planning on staying private, you can still get the eval). 773-553-2060.

My kid is doing great now and testing above grade level. I do think services vary depending on which cps school you are at. We lotteried into a magnet that is well resourced.

Best of luck to you! [/quote]
