[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean in Potomac, MD? You should look at Lowell too (relatively closeby).[/quote] I was thinking McLean, but with a clear eye to what you are getting. My DS goes there and is truly ahead in reading. He was a completely fluent reader when he started in kindergarten. I also know of a child who is gifted and advanced in math who is doing well there. Part of the individualization that they offer is support for kids who are ahead in one area. My DS absolutely needs the small classes and structure and it has been a great fit for him, even though he is advanced in some areas. BUT . . . in general, it is not as rigorous as other privates in the area. You really have to visit and get a sense yourself for whether it is a good fit. They would be able to handle your DS' issues with distraction beautifully, probably better than any other school in the area. The question for you would be the academics. You can ask their admissions department questions like this and they may be very helpful.[/quote]
