[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whitman might work just because it is huge and there are a lot of kids/groups.  Academically it will challenge her too.

If I were you, I would find a good academic fit first and then worry about the social piece because the social piece can vary very much by year and group at any school.

Also, with a very large school there is a chance that your DD will find a group to fit in.  At a smaller school, you are pretty much stuck.[/quote]

My niece with generalized anxiety disorder, poor executive functioning and ADHD did very well at her very large public high school and also had friends including a BFF.[/quote]

Thanks!  These are both things that I was hoping to hear.  Sounds like we should consider public school way more seriously than we do currently.  Always thought having that many kids in the building/classes would be difficult for her to focus and perform, but having the social aspect of it all under control and going well would probably make everything else much easier in the long run.[/quote]
