[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is an average student but is having a difficult time adjusting to the public high school. We’re thinking about visiting some of the upcoming private school open houses and are considering switching to private for 10th grade. Which MD/DC schools would accept an average student and would there typically be many, if any, openings for 10th grade?  [/quote]

To the original question, no there won't be a lot of openings for 10th grade, but also not a lot of 10th grade applicants. So, if a school is willing to add a student and you make a good case for yours, then you have a shot. With that in mind, there is no school that you should rule out without at least looking at their curriculum. The first thing you might check is whether your child is on track for whatever math and languages they can offer in 10th (most schools post this on line). There are a few schools where your student may be off track, so it just won't be an option. Small schools do not have a lot of schedule flexibility; bigger schools might. If that part aligns, then I would simply ask the admissions director at each school that seems to be an option whether they expect to have 10th grade openings.[/quote]
