[quote=Anonymous]I've read a lost of posts describing Madeira as a fine school academically and not a pressure cooker. I am interested in the school for my rising ninth-grade DD, who has ADHD. DD is very bright, and has excellent grades, but her processing speed is slow. She often needs extra time on tests. When she feels like she can't her work done in time, she gets stressed out. DD's therapist told us that Burke, Field, McLean, and The New School would be good options, but the rigor of Madeira might be too overwhelming. Does anyone have a DD with a similar profile at Madeira, and how is it working out for her? Alternatively, if you don't think DD could keep up, that's helpful, too. (PS: Commonwealth is pretty much out. Too many boys.) Public school is not an option. DD could not make the transition from a small, independent school to a 2,000+ student public high school. Also, spare us all the snarky comments about horses. They're tired. [/quote]
