[quote=Anonymous]McLean is the best thing that ever happened to out daughter! It saved our lives. She was at a good MCPS elementary school, Seven Locks, from K-3, that was small and with good test scores but had a disastrous principal starting 2015-2016 who finally left after three years. He was an administrator who returned to a principal position just to mark time until retirement. The damage he did to the school, and particularly to our daughter with his refusal to address physical abuse and bullying by another student, was immeasurable. We pulled her out of there after 3rd grade and enrolled in McLean, which as their tag line says, has been transformative. McLean has small classes, anywhere from 1:5 to 1:10 in the middle school grades. Our daughter has some mild learning differences that in MCPS qualified her for an IEP but unfortunately by their assessment qualified her for few if any services. At McLean most everyone either learns a little differently. or is a little different, and since it is the norm the kids don't feel different or weird and arn't afraid to ask to have things explained multiple times, or ask for extra help. Everyone helps everyone else and is supportive and accepting. Because the classes are small and it is a private school they are free to use multiple and multi-modal teaching methods. Our daughter has made huge gains. We see incredible improvement, she loves school, she has great grades, and is now excited and self-motivated about learning. I wish there was a little more diversity but it's not bad considering there are only about 400 students k-12.   [/quote]
