[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Devastated.  Daughter was waitlisted everywhere.  She's desperately unhappy at her current school (public) so we were very much hoping private would provide an exit strategy.  We're starting to discuss potential alternatives (i.e. moving) but all of our options suck.

What grade is your daughter in and why is she unhappy? [/quote]

5th.  She’s been experiencing bullying this year that is causing her to have panic attacks both in and outside of school.   Administration’s response has been underwhelming and ineffective.  [/quote]

Did you apply to any of the k-8s? Maybe give it some time and call around. Middle school at a k-8 is often their sweet spot and kids do join in 6th and 7th. [/quote]

I agree the K-8s provide a great option. Most have openings. My son attended Green Acres 6-8 and it was a great experience. Social dynamics vary with every class but his was very supportive and inclusive. The middle school staff were very on top of any social issues that arose. We were really pleased. His older sister had a bad bullying experience in MCPS in 5th and we wished we had moved her to Green Acres instead of continuing in MCPS. The experiences were night and day. Fortunately, things did improve for her by 8th. [/quote]
