[quote=Anonymous]We're entering 9th grade at a SN school.  We were at a combo of private and montessori up until the end of 4th.  DC was drifting further and further behind as the years went on.   DC just couldn't keep up.

We took a BIG financial leap and placed DC in a SN school at the beginning of 5th grade.  We thought we'd hold off on starting a SN school for a year to see how it would go in 4th grade and it was pretty sucky.  I hate to say this, but the further you put potential SN school placement the harder it seems to get into SN school.  This is just my opinion. I'm sure others on this list may have different feelings.   Many SN schools that end at 5th or 8th grade don't seem to want to take kids who are "aging out of their system" b/c it'll be harder for them to go thru the entire remediation process.  Many SN schools really want kids to go thru the entire system to get a good handle on the OG program. Our DC school ended in 8th and we rarely saw kids being admitted in the 7th and def not for 8th grade.

We really needed 5x a week constant support to get DC really reading.   I think the constant support/tutoring/being with her 'people' really made all the difference in the trajectory of DC reading and confidence.

It couldn't hurt to apply.  See what happens.  [/quote]
