[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret has a 10% admissions rate for 6th. Where does the next 10% go? Not Sidwell, GDS, or NCS. They go to Field.

It is not a school where Sienna students would thrive. That misconception leads to many students being weeded out during admissions.[/quote]

Kids leaving Siena with remediated dyslexia can thrive in lots of places, including Field (and Maret). When my child was at Field (several years ago), there were a number of kids who had come from Lab after they no longer needed the intensive support.[/quote]

Kids with remediated dyslexia can thrive anywhere. However Field does not offer the remediation.[/quote]

Field is no longer the place it was when Lab School kids successfully went there in high numbers.  It is sad to see Field try to be something it is not, it is not GDS, it is not Gonzaga or Sidwell and it is failing to make the grade. [i][/i][b] Lab School needs a better partner so we are keeping our eyes on Sienna, I hope they stay true to their mission better than Field[/b].[/quote]

I think of Siena as equivalent to Lab, not a next step. Whereas pre-pandemic, Field was proud of accepting kids with disabilities -- not as a SN school, but a place that was accommodating and inclusive to those who no longer needed specialized instruction. While the new attitude toward disabilities might serve some students fine, it's a loss to the private school universe.[/quote]
