[quote=Anonymous]We tried this school for 3rd grade. Curriculum so dumbed down it's absurd. Not at all challenging. Teaching to lowest point in class. Poor and few social peers. Classes too small for my child. Child never complained. Parents concerned. We left for our receptive neighborhood school w strong IEP. Child was and still remains behind in math although test scores raised. Reading lept forward too. We are talking at least one grade behind in math. We have a tutor and child is pulled out twice a week. Wouldn't go back to mclean if you paid the entire thing. A total waste of money, in every sense. I believe that if my child been kept there beyond third grade they would have been required to repeat a grade or would have never caught up. Child's diagnosis is ADHD combined severe (meds help a lot), slow processing speed, math challenges. Best advice is to trust your instincts. I didn't trust mine. Cathy Patterson is really good at her job (admissions). [/quote]
