[quote=Anonymous]McLean parent here. We came to the school before Cathy, and I can tell you the school was not sold to us as a good place for the very gifted child, by the old admissions director. It was sold as a school for "different " learners who were behind because they could not access the curriculum at their school. I understand that the high school is much different than lower or middle school as far as class level and expectations (and I think but I'm not positive there are some AP classes offered). My kid with ADHD, GAD and several LD's is thriving there. Not sure if we will stay through high school yet or not ( depending on needs etc). FWIW, I never considered the school for my younger gifted child who really could not handle the big class sizes in public, because the academics are not right for her. So, I get where everyone is coming from. It's frustrating when you think you found the right placement only to have it not be what your child needs (and then have to start the search process all over again). I wish their message was clearer. [/quote]
