[quote=Anonymous]OP - it's really hard to predict but my advice would be to widen your search and add some SN schools to the mix. My hunch is your older kid may have brought some intangibles to the table -- athlete, strong social emotional skills, unique interests like drama or music -- which helped given that you say he wasn't an academic superstar in elementary school. However a student with social anxiety and emotional awkwardness + average to above average academics is a much trickier profile to get into a mainstream private. In addition to the privates mentioned above why don't you go to the Exceptional Schools Fair in November and http://www.exceptionalschoolsfair.com/ explore schools that could potentially help your child in some of the areas he needs to further develop. Good luck. It's not easy. [/quote]
