We're also looking for people's opinions on these schools - my daughter is in 2nd grade right now and her public school desperately wants to keep her but I just don't know if they can give her what she needs. I've also sent in an application for SEES in Chicago.

We're willing to move to get her into a better school, but I just don't thnk we can afford any of the private ones. Does anyone know how they are with scholarships? My husband earns a reasonable salary, but we have a lot of medical expenses for my other child, and a lot of debt. Most people wouldn't consider us poor, but I don't know many people who have an extra $17k per year to throw around.
