[quote=Anonymous]They will be cautious. Depends on a lot of other factors and what schools you are targetting. My very bright kid with an IEP for speech articulation and expressive language support was rejected at every private school we applied to for middle school except Lowell (McLean, Burke, Field, St. Andrews). Lowell accepted him only on the condition we would hire an outside tutor to support his writing. This was 3 years ago. Maybe we aimed for the wrong schools or maybe they just didn't know whether they could support him. Or maybe they all had tons of applicants that year and it was a long shot regardless. In retrospect I believed we disclosed too much, probably. Upon learning of the IEP they asked for a copy of his full neuropsychological testing, which shows some areas of amazing strength and also weaknesses in processing speed and working memory. In the end, we stuck with public and he's doing great. [/quote]
