DC stayed in that school through the seventh grade, doing well, and then has been home schooled since, not so much because of social difficulties with the placement, but because that private school ended at the 8th grade, and had no math offerings (other than independent virtual school online) beyond algebra I. And our public schools were not realistic options for us. We maintained a loose association with the school, mainly for social reasons, for a few years after moving to home schooling, which was positive. If the school had had grades through high school, it is highly likely that we would have stayed with it for at least a couple more years.

This particular DC is very social, and moves easily and gracefully in and out of a wide range of social situations, including much older (participates in adult community groups, as a peer, and has since very early adolescence) and much younger communities.
