[quote=Anonymous]I have a DS at McLean and I haven't noticed a decline in enrollment.  I have no idea if this is true or not, but it is certainly NOT true for his class. The high school has always been smaller than the middle or lower schools.  I think there are a variety of reasons for this but the important thing is that it doesn't reflect a decline.

McLean is not a special needs school, it is a mainstream school that is open to kids with mild learning differences.  Some kids have a diagnosis, some don't.  And I think McLean is pretty unique in their focus.  The teachers are incredibly expert at tailoring things for the way each child learns best.  Bullis and St. Andrews are very accommodating and I don't mean to criticize them.  They are both great schools for many kids.  But neither is as individualized as McLean.

And it is true that students with more serious LD issues will not do well at McLean.  Also, they don't take kids with any kind of aggressiveness or behavior problems and they are very strict about behavior when the kids are there.[/quote]
