[quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who responded first. DC is at Siena and overall it’s been a good experience - child is now above grade level in reading. We also discovered DC has dyscalculia and the multi-sensory math instruction has been helpful. Most teachers have been great but over the years a couple have been ineffective. As a small school DC has been able to participate in a lot of sports and activities.

Cons - since it’s a small school by design, the social dynamics can be challenging when the students are with the same small group every day. The school tries to mitigate this by mixing grades for specials but it still can be tough. The school will accelerate students in math,  but otherwise it is not particularly challenging academically. That said, many students return to a mainstream school successfully in HS or go on to colleges (with merit scholarships!) after graduating HS from Siena.

Visit, ask lots of questions, and ask to talk to current families and families of alumni to determine if it might be a good fit for your kid.[/quote]
