Auburn or Maddux for K

However they cater to very different profiles.
Auburn is tailored to bright students with social deficits and behavior issues that can’t thrive in a mainstream classroom. Most students do not return to mainstream settings since their support needs are moderate.
Maddux is for younger children that might do okay in a mainstream setting but need a little extra support here and there. After Maddux most students return to mainstream schools.
I’m surprised your ed consultant recommended both schools, OP.
If your child’s profile aligns best with Auburn other similar schools could be: Katherine Thomas and Ivymount.
For a child with a Maddux type of profile similar schools are: Diener and Newton.

Agree with this assessment of Maddux. It’s a great school for kids who need mild social support to be successful in a mainstream environment later. My son went there for pre-k and transitioned to a public mainstream for K. He thrived and that’s in large part to the support he received at Maddux. He’s now in 9th grade in all honors mainstream classes. With a 504, he does well socially and academically.

Does Maddux have financial aid? I have a child who might be a good fit but there is absolutely no way that I could come up with $42k.
