[quote=Anonymous]My son had the most wonderful years of his k-12 years at NB.
However, that was because he had an IEP (for inattentive ADHD and other things) and was part of their GT/LD program (gifted, talented and learning disabled). Once you have an IEP and are in a special program, they take good care of you in that cluster. Your child would need at least a 504 to have any kind of special consideration from his teachers and counselor.

MCPS has large middle schools and huge high schools. Walter Johnson HS in the same cluster, where my son is currently a senior, has close to 3000 students. It can be overwhelming.

However, if you're looking for great academics in Montgomery County, that cluster is it. Only Whitman comes close. Finally, middle school is when kids are expected to manage longer-term projects and self-organize - lots of kids struggle with that in 6th, so if your child has weaknesses in that area, please keep an eye on that: teach him how to use his planner, remind him to keep track of his assignments, etc...
