[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD left McLean for public at 6th.  She thrived at McLean in terms of academics.  In time though, we both ran out of $s and she outgrew the peer group in Middle School (which starts at 5th at McLean).  She did very well in a large public middle school and loved it though it was a little tough for her to find her bearings at first knowing so few kids in the new school.  She is now in large public HS taking honors and AP classes.  Keeping up with the work load in HS is more challenging for her, but with tutoring support she is doing well.  At times, I have missed the level of support that was built in at McLean.  I've had to do quite a bit of advocating each year in public, and not all teachers are equally able to follow her accommodations, but its working academically and she is happy in the school community, which is really great.

So happy to hear your DD is doing well. It's really wonderful to hear about kids with learning differences who find their footing and achieve at the level they're capable of.[/quote]
