[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for all of the replies. My child is a current 8th grader so we are applying to private schools now for next year. Public school offers very little support even with an IEP but [b]I'm trying to set expectations as to whether a traditional private school with supports is even an option for students who are currently below grade level[/b] and/or don't do well on the HSPT so these replies have been helpful.

The short answer is no. They have far more applicants than they have available seats, so they have no reason to accept a student I'm who is below grade level. They [i]might[/i] consider a student who is on grade level with limited supports. Might.

I would seriously consider looking a specialized schools that serve your child's learning disability if private is the route you want to take. Even those often have a cut off for just how far below grade level they will accept students, often no more than a year or two.[/quote]

If you are okay with them continuing to perform under grade level…. Maybe? But mainstream privates don’t do remediation. [/quote]
