This is what I’m worried about.  I think the private school isn’t going to be able to meet his needs and letting this slide all year has made things worse.  I feel like he was on par with peers last year but just went downhill fast this year which caused increasing levels of frustration for him.  Hopefully outside testing and help this summer will make a difference.  Thank you for all the helpful and thoughtful responses.[/quote]

FWIW, I have one rising from public JKLM to private, another is staying public (for now) the one staying public I just found out is reading at B level mid year and F level now, (2nd expected to start JKL). I had to ask the teacher after child was screened at pediatrician for possible vision problems. I have heard our JKLM public has great supports, and I have heard from a DCPS elementary reading specialist that their school would have flagged and supported my child. The person said public school has resources and its very school dependent and relies on strong parent advocates to get resources if there is a need.

Alas, we will support from here and ask for more in the fall. But wanted to add that at public it seems depending on the teacher and the school it’s a scramble. [/quote]
