[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They asked us about whether our kids is a self starter and could advocate for himself. The school sees itself as being best suited for toward independent, self driven students. [/quote]

NP. True. And G*d help you if your child develops any sort of medical or mental health issue, an addiction (more common than you may imagine) or has a 504. BTDT. [/quote]

What does "BTDT" mean?[/quote]

Been there done that.[/quote]

Thanks. What was your experience? I think my DD has ADD, anxiety & depression and will need an IEP. I've been holding on testing for ADD out of fear of stigmatizing and weakening chances for school selection. The anxiety & depression symptoms are newer and she's scheduled to see a psychotherapist next week. So any insight you have as we rank schools (SWW, Latin, DCI, Wilson, Banneker) would be helpful. She is in a paraochial school now. Thanks. [/quote]

A few points - SWW and Banneker are application - so order matters.   What is your child's preference between them?   Most 8th graders I know have a POV between the 2.  Whatever her preference between the 2, rank them that way.

Of the schools listed, I think Latin has the best reputation for supporting 504 needs.   We are at a Wilson feeder and our current teachers are pushing to get our 504 converted to an IEP b/c they think our 8th grader with ADHD is going to get lost in the process at Wilson without the specific supports that the IEP offers.

Private would be best. Sorry, but that's my take being familiar with all of the above. Have you looked at any parochial high schools. Also, don't hold out on testing with fear for school selection. That's just not how it works with private or public schools. Do you have anyone at the school you can speak with about this for guidance? [/quote]
