[quote=Anonymous]It's not going to happen within FCPS. I was a teacher for many years and only saw one successful case of a kid repeating a grade (about 15 years ago) and it was a HUGE battle for the parents to make it happen and he had to change schools to do it. You have a couple of options 1. send him to a private school and have him reclass as a sophmore next year - it's likely that only schools like McLean School and Lab school will take him on if his ADHD is that severe. The high level privates around DC will be less willing with grades that low. 2. Let him mature a little more, do junior year, and then reclass as a junior at a boarding school (this is more common than people think) 3. Let him complete all four years in FCPS and then do a post graduate year at a boarding school (again more common than people think) 4. Have him complete all four years in FCPS and then do a year or two at NOVA to get his act together (I've seen this work for numerous kids)[/quote]
