[quote=Anonymous]Just got an offer of a spot at the Eastern magnet program for DC2.  DC2 has moderate ADHD (mostly inattentive when in the classroom) and pretty severe anxiety, especially social, with a 504, but is doing pretty well at a CES now.  DC1 went to Frost and haaaated it (too big/too loud/not enough feedback&support), so DC2 is already very wary of Frost, but we're not sure Eastern would be any better in that regard?  Most of DC2's friends are not going to Frost either (though we're not aware of anyone else going to Eastern yet), so the social situation at a brand new school wouldn't be that different. DC2 would not handle a ton of homework well, but we expected more at the CES and it's been manageable.  (We're also fine with middling effort FWIW - not pushing for crazy high achievers here.)  DC2 does well in small-group settings; it's things like assemblies, performances, presentations, that are really hard.  Don't love the length of the drive, but Eastern is close to DC1's new school, which would actually be quite convenient.  WWYD?[/quote]
