[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

We are a French family who moved to US few years ago.

The school system is still new for us.

I have a child who has been diagnosed with aspergers (High functioning autism). He has an iep plan.

He's currently attending Julius West middle school in Rockville.

I heard about the support for students with aspergers (High functioning autism) at Tilden middle school in Rockville. I think it could really benefit my child.

They have the best score 26% in MCPS for helping students with disabilities to succeed. Julius West gets 14%.

Tilden students attend Walter Johnson high school which has 35% again the best score in MCPS. Richard Montgomery our assigned school gets 20%.

We're planning to buy a house within 2 years. We might search one in Tilden and Walter Johnson area but in the meantime we need to enroll our child at Tilden middle.

How can I register my child if it is not our assigned school?

And also do you think it's reliable to choose our house location based on greatschool ratings?

I often hear that MCPS are great but it should be a huge difference between an above average, average and a below average schools.

I already saw a huge difference in the percentage of students with disabilites success rate.

Thanks!
