[quote=Anonymous]Welcome to the area, OP. For your son, I'm not familiar with any specific private schools in your budget that have small classes but I would suggest you try calling around to various Catholic schools to see if they can accommodate your son. I've heard there are some that do an excellent job with children with mild special needs.

I wouldn't worry about your daughter as much. First, she's only in third grade. Second, any school will likely not be much of a challenge. The curriculum is the same throughout the whole county and many parents with bright kids feel like it's very watered down.  Third, she can apply to go to an HGC for 4th and they will bus her from her home school to one of the magnets so it doesn't matter where you live. That's the only way you'll get more differentiation for her.

One more bit of advice would be to avoid the Potomac and Bethesda area schools if you end up going public for your son. With a few exceptions they are known to be terrible for children with special needs.[/quote]
