OP, this is the first time I have written in this thread.  I have a child in the lower school at McLean.  I do not think the school is for everyone (just as any other school would not be either).  I, in fact, pulled my child from [b]a different hybrid school[/b] because it was not the right placement.  What I have found as my child goes up in grades is that my child is extremely happy and comfortable at McLean.  His level of anxiety during the school day is almost non-existent now.  Therefore, he is learning.  He does have other needs and we have outside help because he needed more than could be provided in school. For us that was ok, because I didn't expect to get everything from within (our experience receiving services provided by a school was not a good one).  We did use some in school help, but he no longer needs that help, so we dropped it.

I think whether the school works for a child and his/her parents is a personal thing.  I don't bash the school I pulled my child from (and there are times I wanted to), but it's a school that works for others that are happy there.  It just didn't work for my child at all.

OP, have you gone to McLean and toured it?  Have you spoken to anyone there?  Have you asked to speak to a family who is currently there?  I think I would do that at any school.  It can only help with your decision.[/quote]

What was the other hybrid school? There are so few school like that around here.[/quote]
