[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]male or female? Very difficult to get in with a male age 9. [/quote]

Is this personal experience? [/quote]

Yes, when we looked into it, there were about 12 students per grade in the elementary grades. They are already there, [b]so any openings are through attrition[/b].  They try to have gender diversity, moderate/severe LD diversity, LD diversity,  and ethnic diversity, because they don't want a student to be the "only".  All with 12 students.  For whatever reason, more boys apply to special needs LD schools.  [/quote]

The bolded is not what they said at the open house I went to. They said that the lower school has a total of 90 kids, but because the classrooms are multi-aged, they have flexibility about how they do their groupings. They can only accept the number of kids that move on to the middle school (or otherwise leave lab), but those people don't have to be a particular age.

I do agree that it's harder for boys to get into SN schools.[/quote]

Generally, everyone moves up a grade and they fill in the entry age.  There is some wiggle room of course, but logic dictates that they look to fill in the lower ages since those children will have moved up a bit too.   [/quote]
