[quote=Anonymous]Sorry if I am using the incorrect terms. We are fairly new to this and trying to understand.

DC is in 4th grade and has ADHD. It is pretty well-managed and he does pretty well, but he didn't qualify for CES or compacted math. Knowing what I know about him (and understanding he's only 9 and things could change), I'm assuming he will not qualify for the magnet lottery. That's fine by me, but I'm hearing coded things like "poor cohort" outside of the specialized programs. As a parent who was once probably considered part of the "poor cohort" as a kid, I'm maybe a little overly sensitive to this language, but I also want to make sure we're meeting DC's long-term needs.

I know there is a lot of criticism of some of the DCC schools, so would love to hear a balanced view.

Does anyone have a similar experience with your kid (particularly an ADHD kid), especially in SSIMS to Northwood? I would put this in the kids with special needs forum, but I am seeking info specific to MCPS so hoping for a broader view.[/quote]
