[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20% of children nationally have learning differences.  20% of students at the top 3 have learning differences.  Don't assume that your child can't be accommodated, because if s/he is bright and curious, s/he will do just fine in any school.  [/quote]

Selective admissions processes and subsequent counseling out mean the students at the Big 3 do not mirror the general population. That's why people pay the big $. [/quote]

+100 No way 20% of the kids at the Cathedral schools or Sidwell have a learning difference.[/quote]

Agree - counseled out by upper school seems to be the norm[/quote]

I agree that its probably less than 20% but it is absolutely not true that they are all counseled out. I think you misunderstand ADHD. DD thrived at NCS, including very high grade, in spite of ADHD because of the right accommodations. This would not be true of every child so I agree with the recommendations for schools like Field and Maret. But there are a range of learners who have this diagnosis and there absolutely are kids with ADHD at every school.[/quote]
