....says the person with no private experience.

OP - my kids are like yours.  Good private schools have the resources for differentiated learning.  Your kid will get what he needs.  We have a couple kids in DD grade (7th) in 10th grade advanced math, while there is an advanced class for 7th.  We also find the English program to be superior in almost every way.

In terms of your concerns- you will be one of the core families.  Everyone in DCUM-landia makes it sound like everyone is super rich.  While there are some super rich families, the bulk (like 80%) are like yours - 1or 2 kids in private and an income between 200-700.  And the peer group your kid will have will be one that values academic excellence, which I think is a bit diluted in publics, i.e., it's there, just not as prevalent in the same way.  I found some of the kids in publics to be a bit arrogant/socially unaware of how they present their intelligence - this is very different in private school.[/quote]

Which school?
