[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newton if you have special need like language disorder, ADHD over Brookline, what do others think? Lexington next. [/quote] 
Please elaborate with any specifics why Newton over Brookline for ADHD.  Wondering if it’s caliber of teachers, specific familiarity or programming for executive functioning, or more supportive teachers, etc.  Thanks![/quote]

Not PP but Newton schools have more resources. The schools are stronger than Brookline. That said Brookline schools are excellent too and Brookline is significantly more urban depending on where you live. Parts of Newton are slightly more urban in that there's a train and town center. Parts of chestnut hill are right on the border of boston too. chestnut hill is in both newton and brookline, so we're talking about neighboring areas. Distance wise, Newton is like Bethesda and Brookline is like Chevy Chase. Jamaica Plain is awesome but yes, the schools are not good. Lots of good private schools nearby if you can swing it. All things considered based on what you're looking for I'd choose Brookline. Personally I'd want Newton though for the schools. [/quote]
