[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the encouragement! Does McLean share any statistics on acceptances to various universities?  What would you say the biggest challenge and biggest benefit of high school versus middle school for a student with ADHD? [/quote]

DC had some major LDs and those affect him more than the ADHD.  If I get too specific, he will be easily identifiable, if not already.  In addition, ADHD manifests itself so differently in different children that one student's challenge maybe another's asset. Overall, I would say the teachers and administration have been excellent with his accomodations, which was not the case in middle school.  He has one team taught gen-ed class and the rest are Honrs or AP.  There are no team taught Honors or AP classes.

All of FCPS HS have Naviance and it shows the number of students who applied, were accepted and went to each college over the past 5 years.  It also shows the scattergram plot of their SAT score and GPA as long as there are enough plot points to maintain anonymity.   They do not parse it out beyond that.  For schools where there is not enough information to maintain anonymity you can go to the career center and they can access the countywide statistics for that college.
