[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- our deadline to notify Wakefield was yesterday so this is now OFF the table.

Currently, we have to decide between W/L vs. Yorktown. What are the teams like at W/L for kids with IEP?

Since you didn't post your question until yesterday, I guess Wakefield was never a serious consideration anyway.  
So what you are really trying to decide is whether support for an IEP is better at Yorktown or in full-IB at WL?  If you're not really interested in full IB or the elite colleges, go to Yorktown.  Leave the available spaces for IB for someone who really wants them.[/quote]

Or, rather, your question is really should you go to your assigned school or follow his friends. [/quote]

Actually, If I'm reading this correctly the OP is asking more about services for her son's ADHD and the differences between the classes and supports through an IEP.

Yes, but OP's child will have to be full-time IB if transferring into WL and OP already indicated they are not a good fit for IB.  And if the Wakefield decision is moot, what is the point of the question?  To make him do IB because WL might offer better IEP support through a program he's not fit for so he can follow his friends there (and not necessarily be in the same classes with them, by the way), or feel better about sending him to Yorktown because some parents suggest they have better IEP support?  If the friends issue wasn't a factor, OP wouldn't have made a point to mention it.[/quote]
