| Thinking of looking at Park School for my child with ADHD. Does anyone have any experience with them and their academic support? How accommodating and supportive are they? |

| Tons of unmedicated adhd kids in lower school. Possibly too accommodating? |

| Boys Latin would be worth looking into as they support these kids. |

Strongly encourage you to look carefully at math program. It is a very specific way of teaching - something akin to flipped classroom - that is not successful for many many kids.
RPCS unfortunately follows similar curriculum. However, the school itself has much more overt structure, which is often preferable for adhd kids. |

Thanks for mentioning this. I will look into it! |

| It’s called integrated math. RPCS has something on it on its Facebook page. Worth asking how kids do on calc AB and BC AP exams. Not that APs are be all and end all, but if you bother to take calc BC, you definitely do not want to have to take it again in college. |

| No direct experience but we will be applying for high schools next year for my ADHD girl (she's at a K-8 now). Park, RPCS, and Friends are on our list (though I know two people with ADHD kids at Friends who had issues). Maybe Bryn Mawr but I'm worried about the level of rigor. My daughter is very smart, according to her teachers and her tested IQ, but the executive disfunction is real, so it doesn't always come out in her school assignments. |
