[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm bumping this thread because we were just denied eek for my daughter with a Sept 4 birthday. She's very bright and her preschool teachers felt she was exceptionally ready. We actually weren't able to test until August and I wonder if the late time frame had anything to do with the unfavorable decision as I'm sure classes are probably already pretty full. [/quote]

Go private two years.  It was the best choice we ever did.  Then, transfer in at 2nd grade (they will try to refuse you but can't - we are doing this now).  I'm so glad we did the private and went forward.  [/quote]

I think we're going to do this.  Are you willing to share which school?  [/quote]

Winchester in Silver Spring.   Redwood also might.  There are many that just have K but you really need to do K and 1st privately.  Then transfer in second.  [/quote]

Thank you!  I work near Winchester.  Will check it out.  I also thought that was the policy - they need to accept you regardless of age, once you've done K and 1st at a private.[/quote]

Winchester is reasonably priced and have before/after care to make it easy for you.  It is the policy, but our school was not particularly warm or welcoming.  I think it is just our school.[/quote]
