[quote=Anonymous]You will be disappointed at the outcomes of having your son attend one of these schools.I would suggest having him attend public school in either MoCo or NOVA K-12. He will develop a group of like individuals and is just as likely or more to be successful in a public school environment. Hire him tutors for the classes he struggles with. Allow him to underachieve in middle school. It is far better to do poorly in middle school and realize you need to try harder in HS, then to perform poorly in HS because you were not allowed to fail in middle school. Try to identify subjects that he is passionate about and supplement his interests in those subjects outside of school through summer camps etc.[/quote]
