UCGal, thanks for that suggestion. I didn’t know the kid can still take the test even though he/she doesn’t go to the public school in the district. In that case, I’ll definitely have him take the test in 2nd grade and see how he score, talk to the Seminar teacher/school and see if it make sense to switch school. Originally, I was under the impression that I have to send my kid to the public school first before he can take the test.
Since you are very family w/ the Seminar program, do you know how the kids in Seminar do in Jr. High vs the kids who came from private K-5? I heard from a friend who knows a few parents who switch their kids from private school to seminar program. Then when they merge back together in 6th grade at Bishops, the kids who were in Seminar program were behind the kids who went to private K-5. Any comment on that?
