Our kid is just finishing 2nd grade, has combined type ADHD, and is an average performer. They have been in private school since kindergarten for a myriad of reasons. Partially due to life circumstances and the fact we are a fully ND household and pandemic public education was a nightmare of executive function stuff for us as two people managing EMS/Public health jobs during the height of the pandemic. We have since moved and he has stayed at his school, but between the commute/religion stuff/cost, private school is not going to be accessible to us much longer. We also just got "re-districted" after some boundary changes and are in a completely different district than we were when we moved.
I will say that even with challenges I got a good education as did my SO in public school. We've always had reservations about private. Our kiddo is doing well, happy, has friends, and is improving/learning. I don't feel that the curriculum that their private catholic school has is better or more rigorous than most - but they do have more extracurricular opportunities - like music classes, daily PE, and art. Kiddo reads very well and is an avid reader of physical and audio books daily, loves math, and has low support needs for their ADHD (though likely needs a bit more as they are pretty much at the current "support options" available in catholic education).
I'd love to hear from educators or parents who have made similar transitions on how you supported students or your kids. What issues came up? What would you recommend for supports and transition work during the last bit of this year to help prepare our kiddo?
