[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it for kids with mild dyslexia?[/quote]
The HS is great (my dyslexic DC started in 9th so we don’t have experience with LS/MS). We love the staff in the academic center. In HS your kid is responsible for arranging their extra time or other accommodations with their teacher before an assessment, but the teachers are all well aware of who gets what accommodations and DC has had no issues. Students with accommodations are never singled out and all the students know and have friends who are part of the academic center for one reason or another so there’s no stigma or embarrassment.

In 9th, most students with accommodations will have an academic center slot for one of their class periods. After 9th, they will reassess to determine if the student still needs that more scheduled support or not, but they always have their assigned advisor in the academic center even if it’s not a scheduled class slot, and some students will move in and out if needed (like, kid might be fine in 10th but then find the demands of 11th would be better met with a formal center time). It’s really individualized to each student and there is a wide range of accommodations available.

If your child still needs remediation in HS (for a late diagnosis for example), that would need to be done outside of school, however. I don’t know about interventions (like O-G) in the lower grades.[/quote]
