[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious as to why you need small groups.  I mean, as pp said, we'd all love that. But is there something specific and unusual about your kid that s/he can't be in a room with 22 other kids?  ie, soft SN. Off the charts IQ? etc[/quote]

I'm this PP back. Your child's profile sounds similar to one of our kids. He is at Sheridan and he loves it.  Typical class size is 24-25, and that's broken into 3 groups - 3 FT teachers for K and 2 groups-2 FT teachers  thereafter with 12 bodies in the room.

There are smaller work groups for math and reading.

It works, although DS recoiled from bustling crowds as a young child, because the teachers draw them out, and the ratio is advantageous.
He was also admitted to GDS, which I would also recommend based on what we saw (we wanted k-8 and knew that many Sheridan grads go on to GDS for HS).  Maret also seemed ideal but he wasn't admitted. Strong academics, secular and tiny classes.  Concord Hill fit the bill on paper, too but we preferred the vibe at the other schools.

Based on what you've described, your DD doesn't need a SN school.  McLean might work, or it might be overkill. Either way, it has tiny, tiny classes. GL![/quote]
