[quote=Anonymous]My son is “highly gifted” but with severe ADHD.  Historically he has underperformed in school, only turning in some assignments but doing well and winning awards at others.  He is a prolific reader and has a broad base of knowledge.  He is moderately athletic (fast, strong and good natural instincts but no desire to comment to a competitive travel team, meaning that he’s now kind of average because he doesn’t practice skills).  He’s been a big (but good) public schools in MoCo.  He is very social and has started hanging out with kids that are not very academic and might be kind of jerks (hard to say).   I’m wondering if a private school with smaller classes where he felt more invested in the classes would help turn this around.  Historically, if he likes the teacher and is engaged in the class, he does much better.  He’ll do well on the testing, but will probably not have great recommendations (given his lack of engagement in recent years) and also may not interview well if he is irritated at me for pulling him away from these new friends.

Is there a school for this?  [/quote]
