[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, OP. Parent of a kid with ADHD and a 504 plan who attended SSIMS and is now a Junior at Northwood. Could have applied for magnets and chose not to. Our experience with teachers, counselors and administrators at both schools has been very positive. Our kid is doing well and is happy as are his friends and other kids in our neighborhood at Northwood and other DCC schools. Some applied for magnets, some did lottery into other schools, some stuck with home school. All are doing well and finding their path. [/quote]

I've had kids at a strong ES, SSIMS, and now Northwood. SSIMS was a disaster for a few years but the new principal is fantastic and very well liked. Some kids receive enrichment through the Historical Inquiry class - not a magnet but based on the humanities magnet at Eastern.

We really love Northwood. It's a great community of people. My student is in some APs and some Honors classes and feels appropriately challenged while also having a great overall experience. I think the new building will attract a larger number of students but hopefully will continue with it's smaller school feeling. [/quote]
