[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will get lots of responses suggesting Commonwealth, St Andrews, Field, etc, but honestly based on your description your son would be fine at any school including "big 3"'s. My suggestion would be to look at a large range of schools (even ones you don't think of off the bat) and see what style/atmosphere feel "right" for your son and family, and then you can start to hone in. I have an older child with a similar profile, and my one tip for you to consider is that schools with a large HW load and very hyper competitive student body were not a good fit for our son - the HW part because it would take him twice as long as a student without adhd to complete it (even though he is very smart, it takes him longer to get organized and focused) and bc he is not motivated by peer pressure, he is independently intellectually curious and needed a school that valued such.

I'm really curious about who posted that and why. Absolutely untrue in my experience. OP, you will need to call schools and speak to middle school director. [/quote]
