[quote=Anonymous]We went public to start at a great school and had mixed experiences. Our older child was in ICT classes in early grades and the other "ICT" kids were there for speech and other minor deficiencies - super smart, well-behaved kids from great families who just needed a little extra attention in the early grades. Our child quickly "graduated" from ICT and thrived and had a great experience and has gone on to do very well in subsequent schools (as did most of the "ICT" kids - most ended up at SHSAT schools or very good privates).

Second child also was in ICT classes and it was more kids with behavioral issues and more significant learning delays (some of whom probably shouldn't have been in a gen ed school). Teachers tried hard but paid so much attention to those kids that they had no time for the others. My child was deemed to be doing "well enough" and didn't rock the boat (they were in ICT for minor delays) so wasn't pushed and was largely ignored. We pulled them out of ICT earlier than we might have just to get away but even the kids in the non-ICT classes weren't great - just a bad year of kids.

Plus there was some turnover in teachers - some better, but some worse. Not a great experience, though not awful.[/quote]
