[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are leaving JKLM for Latin next year. We put our names in because Deal seems really huge, we LOVE the idea of a classical education for this kid in particular, small classes, tons of opportunities and a gung-ho staff out to not only prove themselves on a national stage but ensure student success. Private would have been a financial stretch, but it also would have been a kick in the pants  for a non-top school (DC is middle of the road student entering in 5th who has an IEP for mild learning disability, [b]which also means that Latin has to honor)[/b]. We definitely would have gone private for HS no matter what, would not have gone JR (maybe Macarthur?) Now the decision is made.

I also think that unless you are a really stand out hooked kid at a private, the college winds are shifting towards less affluent, academically-principled, more truly diverse (not wealthy URMs and even fewer scholarship kids) schools, like Latin.

We feel like we hit the lottery.[/quote]
Latin needs to "honor" the IEP for 30 days - and may change it after as Latin is a separate LEA.  
We moved from a charter to DCPS and DCPS cut specialized education services significantly.[/quote]

My DS is a fifth grader at Latin 2nd this year, with an IEP. He's had a great experience so far in terms of support and targeting his learning gaps in math and reading. There's a dedicated student support staff member who is amazing. [/quote]
