[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone for their input. My son has had a wonderful educational experience at Landon thus far. He has many years before he reaches the Upper School. This topic concerns me because we have very high college aspirations for him. I hope the school can help him achieve them...[/quote]

Define top aspirations.  Remember you are competing against both kids at your own school and many other schools.  Top colleges, as you define them, only will take so many students from each school so you may need to change your expectations and the pressures you put on your kids.  They can go to a good school and still do very well in life.  You want your kids to get the very best education they can and one that they are happy at and meets their needs.

One issue to see is what is their math and science track.  We have a kid in Algebra younger.  We took a prep class, which was excellent this summer but they offered the prep class but not the actual class for younger students.  There is absolutely no reason to push kids ahead in less they want to and are ready but if your goal is to really push them, at any school public or private, you need to look at the options available.

A happy well adjusted kid who is thriving at school has always been our priority when we move between public and private.[/quote]
