[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The comments about special education at Basis caught my attention.

I have a mainstreamed child with HFA who excels academically.  My child has no academic weaknesses and is especially gifted in math.  But child also needs and receives social support at school.

Most people have advised me to rank Latin first because it has a stronger special education reputation, but given my child’s giftedness (as documented in neuropsych exams and reflected in performance) I sometimes wonder if Basis wouldn’t be a better fit, especially for a likely math wonk.

Thoughts?

I don’t think either school will have significant social support - perhaps a lunch bunch (no different than most public middle schools).How is your child at sports? Latin requires participation. If your child is noise-sensitive the BASIS building and hallways may be an issue. Small and loud.

I know 1 HFA student who went to each school for middle and both went to SWW for high school.  [/quote]
