[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would definitely take the spot op if he’s interested. My sibling went there (I went to Yorktown) and it is a pretty great school. It isn’t perfect for everyone, but worth a try. When you say executive function and attention issues does he have adhd? It sounds like you are describing it. I ask because my child with adhd does best with a lot of structure and the hb model is a little on the other end of the spectrum. But it is such a great opportunity I would lean towards at least trying it. But staying aware of whether he’s doing work.

Have him go to the shadow day, this is as much his decision as it is yours at this age honestly [/quote]

OP here. Thank you for this feedback! Yes he has adhd being treated with medications and executive function coach, as well as an IEP but he’s academically very bright. He is quite athletic but isn’t a “jock” type who will likely play HS sports at the varsity level bc Yorktown is so competitive that way. He’s more interested in computers, Rec level baseball and soccer, and theater drama. He is going to do the visit day this week and we are encouraging him to give it a shot given the size and the feedback we have heard. Can always transfer back if it’s not a good fit. He found a couple of peers in his Snapchat network who go to HB and they like it a lot. Described it as “chill,” “kind,” and “without any fights.” Lol. [/quote]

My kid has seen only one actual fight at HB in four years.  My other kid in regular APS middle school reports seeing fights weekly (not all are seen by administrators, as they break up naturally).[/quote]
