[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a variety of reasons mostly addressed thus far, I think McLean, Field, and Burke are worth looking at.  McLean, from what I hear, specializes the most in working with a child like yours.  I say Field because my kid had terrific scaffolding and support there. Bolstered by some outside tutoring, my kid did well and went on to a good university. Burke because I hear people say really nice things about the school and it’s probably not the hardest of the three to get into.

I think these are good options, but McLean or Lab (or say, Benilde at St John's) are a different category than Field, Burke, St. Andrew's, Bullis, SSSAS, etc. [b]Do you want a school designed to address learning needs OR a mainstream school, but one that leans more supportive/welcoming/less pressure cooker?[/b] Both can be excellent, but that's basically two different search processes. And while the mainstream schools above aren't super competitive, they absolutely are selective, especially for high school admissions. (This board can tend to underestimate with schools that aren't Sidwell and the like ...)[/quote]

Definitely the latter.  We have the former, so only switching for the latter.[/quote]
