[quote=Anonymous]Both Sidwell and GDS are diverse and also have a good number of black students. Your child will not be the only 99ile black student. A word of caution, however—privates will try to work with you, but they typically don’t let kids accelerate over one or two years, especially in math. They do have enrichment and theoretical classes, but I think they are trying to prevent a “race” for higher level math. There are lots of kids in geometry and algebra 2 who have taken coursework in another school or in a separate class. So if your son really wants and needs acceleration, you will have to go outside the school. If your child is mature, consider NE boarding schools in high school where there are a lot of advanced kids with lots of different interests. Your son will not be the only one and will have a small cohort. [/quote]
