I just wanted to wish best of luck on finding a good school. When public school option doesn't work out, a good private school can be way to go.

My older one (4th grader) is in public school (gifted program) and younger one (1s grader) in private school.

One major difference in our experience is that they listen to you much better in private school. They always try to come up with a solution.

When researching for private schools, make sure to share your concerns and your expectations. There are many good private schools, but as many as not so good ones.
