[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and putting two cents in because my DC has also been at Siena 4th-8th grade, with a similar experience as OP in that DC has not made much academic progress at all.  Siena definitely has a great marketing team, they sold us.  And they also had a decent reputation, even here on DCUM.  Which is why I feel compelled to share our bad experience, because it's important for others to know.  Siena is expensive, and while it helped my DC's self esteem for awhile to be around others like them, I think that's about the only advantage.  DC has not made much of any progress academically after 4 years, based on testing.  And the MS environment is increasingly poor -- definitely worse than our local public MS.  I really regret sending my DC to Siena, and now need to figure out how to reverse course.  [/quote]

Can you clarify “based on testing”? Are you getting repeated neuropsychological testing? What tests are you using to measure progress?

I have a kid with reading issues, so I wonder what measuring stick to use for progress. [/quote]
