What private schools will you be looking at? Are you talking Primary Day/Holton or Seneca Academy or Mary of Nazareth? If Seneca or Mary of Nazareth (or Barnesville/Christ Episcopal), what do you plan to do for high school? QO or a Holton at that point?

If you are referring to a Holton caliber private school and you easily can afford it, then yes, send your daughter there.

Are you involved middle class/umc parents? Does your daughter have any special needs? [b]If she has special needs, I can see how a private would work better. [/b]But if you are your run of the mill middle class/umc parents, your child will be absolutely fine in your local elementary school. You can use the money to supplement in any areas you think she is lacking.

Reassess your decision for middle school.[/quote]

Are private schools, as a group, well-known for their accommodation of children who have special needs?[/quote]

Some are better than others.  You need to ask prior to enrolling your child and tour the school.  The admission interview time is when I asked questions about accommodations.  Bring your testing data with you and if coming from public, the 504 Plan or IEP.

One school in particular did not feel like a great fit when we shared our child's needs and data.  That closed the door in our mind on that school.

Another felt like home for our child.  When we asked, they walked us through how they would provide the accommodations at their school.  As long as you had testing data, they were willing to provide what the child needed with no arguments.  Actually easier than the MCPS process of meeting after meeting just to have the school forget to implement the plan.[/quote]
