[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never know what a particular person neans by "support". Different people use that word to mean very different things. Only OP can know what supports they seek.

St Andrews school does not claim to be a school for students with special needs, because they aren't such a school. It is a school focused on neurotypical students.

For a student that is not neurotypical, another school probably is a better fit. McLean school in MD might be annoption for such a student.

If a parent thinks their student needs "supports", then it would be good to talk clearly and politely with whichever school about one's child, how the child's needs might vary, and ask if that school would be a good fit. Most schools, including StA, will try to give an honest answer, but many also will try to be polite and diplomatic. Try to listen to all of their answer. [/quote]

ADHD is not an uncommon thing.  As previously stated, there are students at DC's top schools with it.  The top schools have teachers that are better skilled at working with top performing ADHD students.  St. Andrew's teachers are top educators.  They don't have the skills to work with such students.  ADHD is not special needs.  St. Andrew's is not a top school in the area.  Once again it isn't St. Albans or Episcopal.  It isn't Sidwell, Potomac, or GDS.[/quote]
