[quote=Anonymous]+1000 to private elementary and at least through 6th if you can swing it. As many have said, it will be the social and academic foundation on which all future learning is built. DC developed strong study skills, got extra attention along the way for any learning bumps on the road without the need for an IEP, grew his critical thinking skills and is empathic and kind. His standardized test scores also told us that he was prepared to transition out of private if need be into a more test centered public environment. Lastly, he has the confidence to advocate for himself. DH and I would love to take credit for it all but the reality is that we work a lot and had to put a lot of faith and trust in our children's school. Private elementary was so worth it to us but as a previous poster suggested, do your homework, look at as many schools as possible to find the right fit for your family.[/quote]
