We left lkwd cuz my husband was accepted to a school out of state, we have another year and a half and then there’s a good chance we’re gonna come back. We both grew up there and have a large extended family with pull in lots of different schools.. my oldest was in a school which we’ll likely try to send back to ..
just looking for options now ..
my second to oldest is a girl who’s going to be in low-mid elementary. She’s so so sweet and really thriving in our OOT school cuz she has a TON of support. I wish lkwd had such a school, would be an absolute dream come true… she’s an extremely weak student. We’re trying to get to the bottom of it but mostly she’s just a shy, sweet, happy, sunny disposition, spacey kid who will 100% be fine as an adult but I’m desperate for her to make it thru 8 years of school without lasting effects (feeling dumb, inferior, low self esteem etc etc)
So lkwd moms - if you had ur choice and could send anywhere- where would u send a weak student?
I think we fit into nachlas, Meoros.. also maybe BEM or Neemas but from what I understand the first 2 are slightly more right leaning? I don’t think any of the ones I listed are good for a weak student…

This is actually a real option - can u pls expan
ETA, I went here and have a relative in an administrative position. Would never have considered the school before this kid, I like smaller, warmer, feeling like a person not a number but if it’s right for my kid I’m open

Not a bad idea … I’ll have to mull this one over… idk why this school never really “took off” maybe someone can explain it to me.. I know a handful of graduates who look a left turn from how they were raised so it makes me nervous but the academics will def work for my kid

Bais Faiga has dealt with every single type of kid. They have the most resources from all schools

I’m curious to hear first hand from someone.
My closest friends son is in orchos Chaim and getting zero help after she pushed and pulled and got accepted on like Aug 30th bec everyone told her that’s the place to send if u need help … I’m becoming a skeptic

ETA I think very highly of OC but not necessarily for every weak kid etc

My daughter is in Nachlas and is bh very bright but I think they care much more about the girls’ happiness and being a good Frum girl than excelling in academics and they do have supports

I was there for a short time before I moved and my kid was already struggling. They weren’t unhelpful but were just pushing a lot of services on me.
In the school I’m in now I feel so supported, I feel my kid is so valued, the communication is AMAZING. the hand holding, the guidance.. am I in dreamland.. does this exist anywhere? For the record my OOT school is a big school(but well funded which of course helps)
