[quote=Anonymous]What is the class size at Somerset?  Our doctor said that small class size was the most important factor to look for in a school for our ADHD child.  There are less distractions in a smaller classroom, the teacher is better able to keep the kids focused when there are fewer of them, kids get more one-on-one time and the teacher is more likely to notice quickly if your child starts falling behind.  After small class size, the next thing our doctor advised us to look for is a lot of breaks/transitions between classes.  An ideal schedule would allow for a couple of small breaks or recesses throughout the day and lots of movement between classrooms (language arts in the homeroom, science in the science lab, art in an art room, etc.).  A schedule that is less than ideal would be one where the kids are in their homeroom all morning until lunch/recess, then go back to their homeroom for the duration of the day with the exception of only one or two classes occurring outside of the homeroom.
