[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boy has ADHD, is mathematically gifted and has trouble writing.  And is completely disorganized. We've been at a traditional private school for years, but I think we may need to find someplace better able to work with him for middle school. He's not being counseled out but he's not keeping up with homework and I'm not sure he'll be able to get his act together for middle school next year when the pace steps up even more. We are in Northern Virginia - Can FCPS support a boy with ADHD well, or should we look at another private school?  I've seen Commonwealth, New School of VA and McLean School in Potomac talked about.  We aren't located especially near any of them unfortunately. I'd rather he not be in a school that is too small as he wants friends. Any advice on schools that would actually support him and get him through high school?  [/quote]

I have not found McLean School to be as supportive as I had expected with my MS son who has ADHD and expressive language (writing) challenges.  They talk the talk but it is not what you get for the $40K in MS.  But, I encourage you to visit, ask questions and see for yourself.[/quote]

Ditto re McLean.  They talk a good game, but reality is different, that's for sure.[/quote]
