[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] FYI - we are also on the WL for HGC but currently at a private. Our child is happy and likes to go to school but wants more academically and would be happy to move to get that. Just beware of that - you are not likely to find the academic level your son may desire at the privates. But on the plus side, at least there is no disengagement or disinterest in school for our child.[/quote] We had a similar although not identical experience. Both DCs left public for private starting in 3rd and 4th grades, but returned to public for middle and high school magnets. The academics weren't higher in private for the late ES grades our kids attended. Also, we had good and pretty bad teachers in both public and private. The real benefit of private school was that the small classes and the "extras," like full-year science, languages, art and music, helped our kids stay engaged and interested.[/quote]
