[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I have a middle school DS at McLean who LOVES it.  In our experience, they don't tolerate bullying and the teaching is highly individualized.  Its like there's nothing you can throw at these teachers that they can't handle.  I suspect we'll be there for the duration.

They have been undersubscribed in some grades and the new head was chosen in part to turn that around.  But they don't take anyone and I've met quite a few families whose kids were rejected, either because their needs were too great to be addressed by the school or because of behavior issues.

The smallness of the school is the biggest downside because it means they can't offer a great range of activities and sports.  My DS is not an athlete so we don't care about that part, but it would be nice to have more clubs and activities.  As for the level of challenge, I think this is something you have to assess for yourself.  They do differentiate and my DS has been challenged.  But it is definitely not as rigorous as some other schools.[/quote]
