[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing because they get the records from the current school. [/quote]

B[b]ut if the current school does nothing to stem the behaviors and the SN school does, how will they know if their methods will be successful or not? [/quote][/b]

I'm not an administrator or admissions person but I'm guessing that the applicant to a school like Commonwealth has had many rounds of testing done previously and that is submitted in the application along with teacher and admin. recommendations, so any behavioral issues would be in the file.  Our kid's profile probably read something like  "exec. functioning, slow processing, 147 I.Q., anxiety issues, low self-esteem" etc. but the testing would have touched upon behavioral outburst or issues if there had been any.  Also DC's not on meds.   All that is asked in the application.   Some of the Diener, Auburn, or other schools that work on social and behavioral issues will "promote" their kids to C/A if they think they can handle it once behaviors have been controlled, but I don't know how they do that so really can't give an honest response as to how they do that  but I can tell you that not all the kids at C/A are on meds because mine are not.   It's not something discussed amongst the parents, especially dads, so I can't even give you a percentage.   I'm also assuming that the admissions directors of the various schools keep in touch and try to make helpful suggestions but don't quote me on that.  I can tell you that C/A is very careful about whom they offer admissions to.[/quote]
