Anyone know about Oak Valley? I haven't heard of that one.

Dc was Above 2000, Montgomery was in the 500-600 range and Fairfax was around 250. this despite total enrollment in Fairfax being much larger. The students who get private placement tend to have severe issues and behavioral issues. I don't even think Commonwealth accepts public school private placement (not all schools do). You would have to have prolonged egregious and continuous denial of FAPE to have a chance.

Besides, Commonwealth is more for ADHD. Do they even consider HFA?

I was doing research and tried to find this article but found this instead:
