[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade?  Does she have a Dx?  What kind of supports does she need?  Holton has girls with ADHD but it’s always more difficult to be admitted with a Dx. [/quote]

If she gets in, it will be in grade 5.  What is Dx?  She forgets to take materials or HW to class despite multiple reminders and check lists.  She complains that she hates school because of all these lists she has follow.  At class, her teachers complain that she is not paying attention and does not have context of where the class is especially during reading. 
Most of all she finds her current school stressful.

We got her tested for ADHD and she indeed showed all signs of it.  She is a capable kid and understands grade level math and does well in vocab etc.  Only reading she is behind.  I am not sure if it is the school's fault or her ADHD that is causing this difficulty.  Looking to move her to a more nurturing environment.  Is Holton Arms a nurturing place for such kids or is it for all straight A/ perfect discipline type kids?[/quote]
