Olney/Brookeville for child with IEP

[Anonymous]

We are thinking of moving either for next school year or the following to Olney or Brookville. We have a kindergartener with an IEP and a 2nd grader who excels in math and reading. Our K has mild special needs but needs good pull out speech therapy, OT, and relatively small class size with integrated classroom services (her current class is 19 and she is okay with that, but much bigger would probably not be good). I posted on the special needs forum but didn't get any responses, so I thought I'd post here. I have read that Belmont and Greenwood are both excellent schools. Anyone have experience with their IEP teams?

My child had 29 kids in her class in Kindergarten, but I think I was just unlucky. It will vary by year, but green zone schools tend to have a lot more kids in the classroom.

Take a look at these to get an idea:

I would also look at Brooke Grove ES. Often has smaller class sizes and special education/learning resources. You may want to talk to staff at school.
