[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Special needs" is a huge umbrella.  My child has an IEP because of language delays and sensory issues.  The language has improved significantly, and DC functions at a high level academically.  No one knows my child is "SN" unless I tell them.

In my personal experience, charters do a much better job than DCPS of identifying issues that require an IEP and therefore will always have a higher SN population.[/quote]

The team at our DCPS ES has been great for our child with SN. I have friends whose children with SNs were not well-served at their charters and ended up leaving. Thing is, with both DCPS and DCPCS schools, YMMV. There is such a wide range from bad to great for SN services and sometimes it a very dependent on the individual educators/counselors/etc. For those who cannot afford the very expensive private SN schools, the whole is a crapshoot - including, of course, playing the lottery for school like CM. And if your child is very bright and has SN, it's even more difficult. [/quote]
