[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many schools in lower Montgomery County that are no longer the gems they were. Your kids are only middle school / high school students once; when the public option only focuses on troubled / special needs kids, you can either roll the dice and move or pay for private. Pretty simple.[/quote]

I feel like privates also somewhat cater to special needs kids, no? Or do they counsel them out under certain circumstances? [/quote]

It depends on the school and, I would say more so, on how disruptive the child is to the rest of the class/school. My guess it would also depend on how willing the parents are to be extremely active in participating in whatever the school suggests and/or getting extra outside help if needed. Ultimately the top privates are chosen for a higher level of difficulty, rigor, and variety, not lower. As such, students with more severe disabilities may have more trouble. Though the question would be why the parents want the students in a high rigor, high difficulty environment. [/quote]
