[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I may be the outlier here, but I parent a neurodivergent kid who did fantastic at Deal. And another who is ASD & dyslexia at a private.

But I think Deal is great for kids who are on grade level. And I know a ton of families with IEPs there who also had great experiences. Deal is so big there are lots of kids who will have similar profiles to your son. So many clubs. So many activities. So many kids lacking any social skills.

If my private school 4th grader wasn’t so far behind academically I’d definitely send them to Deal. They would find their people.

My kids is graduating from deal this month. Sounds like your kid. It was awful. 6th grade is  ok and you can see if he's made friends or had cafeteria trouble by the end of 6th. If the answer is no and yes, get him out of there. It will get worse. I advocated like crazy but the school did nothing and doesnt care. The teachers are good but that doesn't mean much socially.[/quote]

Yikes! OP here. Thanks for the heads up. Can you share what high school is your child going to?[/quote]

do you want to talk offline? chataboutkids@gmail.com (ok, so that fake email name sounds icky, but I'm not icky just bad at making email addresses . . .)[/quote]
