Best school for this boy?

OP here - thanks for all the suggestions. A concern is missing out on specials, which is probably a plus for public I guess. He would miss band and language it seems at the smaller schools. I suppose its worth missing out on those if he is getting extra help where he needs it most? We will definitely talk to many of these schools, and I just sent an email about the IEP process for the public option.

It's a trade off to address things like dyslexia. The time has to come from some where. You can tutor before or after school.

I was going to say this for my ADHD and SPD child. There is a bus from McLean, Virginia (one near Chesterbrook and one up dear 495 off Balls Mill Road) so the commute can be resolved.
