[quote=Anonymous]We could afford private, at least some privates, but it would be a stretch. We have one child who was counseled out of private preschool in the middle of being diagnosed with severe ADHD, they were not interested in working with us at all ( child was simply hyper, on preschool, no aggression or anything like that, but they could find some one else “easier” and preferred to do that). So we said never again. Same child is now doing very well after diagnosis, medication and maturity and has been identified as profoundly gifted. We were also told that short of a Sidwell friends type private, they would be better challenged in public. Based on what we’ve seen from neighbors attending a local “fine” private that very much seems to be the case.

I will say one other child seems to have an incredibly difficult cohort of students, with multiple students with major behavioral problems (each year it seems like there is one per class). If we did private it would be to try to get this child out of this specific cohort.[/quote]
