[quote=Anonymous]Sooo, my ds is 5. And we may be buying a house zoned for Wootton HS in MoCo in MD...not for the hs but bc we like the neighborhood and its location is good for us. On these boards "pressure cooker" has been used to describe that hs. I dont know anything about it from personal experience. When I think of my DS who has an IEP and processing delays along with other things, "pressure cooker" is not exactly how Id describe where Id want him to be but then again I dont know what kind of environment hed thrive in at that point.  Or maybe "pressure cooker" would be good because there would be high expectations for him despite his challenges?? I dont know. I cant predict the future and I dont know how things will progress for him. And I get overwhelmed just thinking about it. Preschool years have not been easy.

To parents with young kids with SN, do you think about this at all and if so what are your thoughts?

To parents who have middle or hs age kids and your kids had SN from early on, how did you handle buying a house without knowing what kind of middle and hs environment would end up being best for your DC?

Im not asking for feedback directly about Wootton (unless of course you have feedback and want to share), but Im asking more in general about being zoned for a hs and worrying that it could potentially be the wrong environment for your kid since you dont know how things will shake out with your childs special needs.[/quote]
