[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, suggest you post in the kids with special needs forum.

My younger DC has ADHD and the best thing we every did was move them to private school (mainstream) from public. Not sure if you have another child in private, but the level of feedback and support is so much better than public. It’s not only that the school admin/teachers were helpful with DC, it was that the communication and investment in my child meant that we (parents) could support them better.

My DC doesn’t need a private school which focuses on ADHD but if their mainstream school wasn’t working, would move them in a heartbeat. Kids spend too many hours on school to then feel like they are failing.

Also, particularly if your child isn’t that academically driven, the ability to play basketball and shine at something is great for their self-esteem.

Perhaps you could ask your DC to at least try the new school for a year, and make concete plans to make sure they see their old friends. My oldest DC went to a k-8 and they all scattered for high school but DC still hangs out with friends from k-8 — phones/social media make staying in touch easier now.
