[quote=Anonymous]Kids with ADHD and similar challenges represent about 20-25% of the student population nationally. Almost all the schools discussed here have a similar proportion of kids with those diagnoses (or with symptoms that have gone undiagnosed). The exceptions are schools that specifically meet that learning profile like Lab or Mclean. They have a much higher proportion of such students. For all those who would deny this about their school, you're misinformed. Schools don't like to be transparent about this because they think it tarnishes their brand. (Which is unfortunate because it stigmatizes some very bright and high achieving kids.) But it's true for the top independent schools AND the top universities as well. So be honest when you apply, for the sake of your child. The only way it can hurt your chances is it the school is already pushing the limit on admits for kids with those issues. [/quote]
