[quote=Anonymous]Where should we send our rising 7th grader who has at least an IQ of 145 but has a processing speed of 73? He has ADHD and an average self esteem -- he beats himself up for how disorganized he is and the simple mistakes he makes.

He started out at one of the top private schools in the area but we left because the school didn't have the resources to challenge him. He is now in public school but the standardized testing and the classroom size seem to distract from any of the educational benefit the school offers for kids like him.

We recently completed his second neuropsych since it had been three years since his last one. He has always scored very high on most aspects of the academic parts of the tests, but this time he scored at the extreme upper tiers in every part of the test, except for the processing speed section.

We've always known he was smart, but this time the tester said she needed time to think about the best place for our son to study. She was really blown away by his scores and told us that the Lab School would not be a good fit for him, she listed a couple of other maybes, but then said that they wouldn't be good either.

Anyone have any ideas on how to educate a kid like ours?[/quote]
