[quote=Anonymous]We have an AuADHD kid that left public for a smaller private (not special needs) for middle school. I’m not sure we made the right decision. Smaller schools make it much harder to make friends and you are more likely to stand out as socially awkward with small classes. Plus, a lot of those kids (at private) have been together since K and it’s a hard social scene to break into - regardless of special needs. Ivymount and other special needs schools are not appropriate for a kid with a light IEP. I think you should feel comfortable sending your kid to public middle. We are in APS, so the middle school would have been the same size as Deal. The big size will give your kid more opportunities for friendship. All parents worry about this jump and understandably, you have reason to worry more. But I think you will find that it works out best for your child.[/quote]
