[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, a waiver is possible but it's not super-common.  You'll need documentation (504/IEP, recommendation from your school's counselor or school psychologist, and a specific reason why the HB mission fits with your child's needs).  You're not going to get anywhere if you just say that your kid would thrive in a small, artsy environment--so would many kids.  The few people I know who have gotten waivers had kids who had a long history of not fitting in with their peers at school despite being academically on-track.  
[b]Coming from a non-APS school is going to make it a much tougher case though since they will almost certainly want to see how your kid functions in a neighborhood school[/b].   [/quote]

Not necessarily. Good friends of ours got their son in as a freshman when they returned to the US. They had not been in APS since mid-year their kindergarten year.[/quote]

How? Are you sure they didn't just apply through the lottery? [/quote]
