[quote=Anonymous]Knew friends who moved to Anne Arundel County and their twins (with different issues) are doing much better. However, that might not work for commuting spouse. Columbia, MD is another option and we know one spouse who gets the commuter bus from there.

Had another family who took out a home equity loan for private school out of state.

You should try for a private placement with a lawyer, but DC is so bad about letting kids fail first and the damage that does....

In our case, we finally went private and spent $125,000 on high school with tutors.  Let me say that the privates around here aren't always a solution!  The microschool syndrome as I call it, does not always lead to good learning outcomes and many schools often mentioned on these boards really don't do additional interventions/instruction.  It was the best we could do.

But we are older parents, we live in a NW DC condo apt and bought when the market was low.  We saved the money for college.  However, we are now very grateful for that DC TAG money and state school tuition.  The kid himself told us that he wasn't sure if he could do college work and opted for community college.  It was the BEST decision since he got lots of support and graduated magna cum laude from NOVA.  I continue to marvel at the superb chemistry and statistics foundation courses which have proved to have been top notch in prepping him at the 4 year college.  Good luck!  [/quote]
