[quote=Anonymous]Definitely NOT an administrator here, but a dad.  Seriously, 12:00 if you knew the school you would know that C/A is tiny.  There is no one at the school who has the time or interest to be on this site.  I've never even heard DCUM mentioned at any parent or admin. get-together.  But to answer some of the questions above, yes, there are some very gifted students at C/A - usually in the Superior range although several have scored 800 recently on the SAT, quite a few are calculus savants, another recently got into Mensa (because Mensa has youth scholarships - so don't bash Mensa).  Another young man just recented a National Merit Commendation and is waiting to hear from Ivies.  Yes, it is a college-prep school for ADHD kids.  A few of the students have comorbidities such as dyslexia or GAP (generalized anxiety disorder), but no ASD or behavioral issues.  The school now offers Honors Certificate Diplomas and Honors courses.  The qualified students will be taking the SAT Subject Matter test in Chemistry soon.  A few junior students take advanced courses at NoVA during the school year in the late afternoon.  Our daughter will be taking advanced math courses at GMU this summer (she's in calculus now as a junior and straight As).  We just finished the paperwork for GMU and she was accepted as a junior high school student for summer work.  And any further coursework in very advanced fields or unique foreign languages is taking in a proctored online course during the day at the school.[/quote]
