[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With your new info, [b]I might emphasize a small, kind, nice school over language and academics and maybe even commute. [/b] You need to protect him emotionally. Read to him like crazy and the academics should be solid enough till 4th grade or so. BTW, I went to second tier nothing special middle and high schools and had all the confidence in the world that I was as smart and could learn anything I needed to. But I never 100% got over the constant teasing I faced at my academically excellent elementary school (we were poor and "different" - i.e. parents were hippies in a small midwest town where there were no other hippies). Thank god they moved me to a bad school district in another town for middle school.[/quote] I agree with this, all things considered. Lowell comes to mind (had considered it at one time for my kid, but $$$). It's a private school, but you might qualify for a nice aid package.[/quote]
