[quote=Anonymous]We had hoped to send our son to HB in 9th, but we didn’t get a spot. Honestly, Yorktown has worked out great. Yes, it’s huge, but kids - even the young ones - learn how to navigate it pretty fast. I’d take the spot at HBW simply because you can always change your mind and go back to Yorktown. Sports and clubs is another consideration. Being huge, there’s something for everyone at Yorktown. HB doesn’t do sports other than frisbee and he’ll need to navigate the logistics of busing back to Yorktown if he wants to join a Yorktown team. I think the issue of supports for executive function cuts both ways. Yorktown has an army of administrators dealing IEPs and 504s, but HB is just smaller and there’s a likelihood that the teachers will be more familiar with your kid generally simply because it’s a smaller group of students. Transitioning to 9th grade can feel overwhelming to us as parents no matter the school. Good luck with everything![/quote]
