[quote=Anonymous]I could really use some help/feedback on where we should look for middle school for my current 4th grader (happy at our local DCPS elementary - one more year there). He has ADHD - he's medicated, not disruptive even when not medicated - and struggles with working memory, multi-step directions, math word problems are especially hard. Pretty typical ADHD boy. He also is slow to answer questions, which is partially mediated by anxiety and partially by just slow processing speed having to do with ADHD (can't always track what's coming in/organize his response). He's had a neuropsych, he does not have an IEP but is behind in math, on grade level for reading, not dyslexic. Not super athletic but a cheerful "boys' boy" who likes to have fun with his pals and loves to be outside and play and explore. I am looking at Field, Burke, and Waldorf as 6-12th and then Norwood and St. Patrick's for 6-8. Are there other schools I should consider? Because he doesn't need serious intervention I think Lab or McLean may be too much intervention and maybe not as good a fit socially, but I could be wrong. TIA, fellow loving parents just trying to do the right thing. [/quote]
