The discrepancy between his capabilities and academic performance are the exact concern. His mental ability shows he should be achieving more academically than he is, which is why we’re considering either a school switch and/or ways to support him through MCPS.

Our hope is to stay MCPS but not sure if it's possible. Kind of hoping to hear some success stories from similar scenarios...[/quote]

If you can afford it, go to private school. I deeply regret keeping my 2e kid in mcps. They will not help or support your child outside of elementary school. Instead they will reinforce the idea that he is lazy and does t try.

Run before it's too late. [/quote]

My experience was the opposite.  We left private for public because of the additional supports available.  I've had all the assistance and communication I could want in MS (if anything, it was upper ES that was less helpful).  But DC is on 504, not IEP, and those two situations are admittedly quite different. [/quote]
