[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you!  If you don’t mind me asking - which Montessori?  Butler?  Which HS did they end up going to?[/quote]
Montgomery Village Montessori.

At the time the GT/LD program they chose was Roberto Clemente MS and Watkins Mill HS. DC took science and math classes with the magnet program students in MS and had a resource class to work on executive functioning skills. At Watkins Mill they took assorted IB classes as best fit their interests.[/quote]

I don't know where you live OP but being allowed to take magnet programs not being in the magnet in middle school is not typical practice. This is the first I've heard of anyone being allowed unless was your child admitted to the Clemente magnet but opted to be in the GT/LD program instead of the magnet so they made an exception?

I’m not sure why you would think you would know exactly what classes students with IEPs are taking. The student that I’m referring to was not accepted to the magnet program, but was taking the same science and math classes as the Humanities magnet students. (That was when both upcounty programs were at Clemente, and because of scheduling the magnet kids were still cohorted together for their “non-magnet” classes.)[/quote]
