[quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you mean when you say "top" or "good"?  Those things mean different things to different people.  Are you chasing test scores?  Prestige?  A certain curriculum or style?  A certain social community?  Really think about this. I know it's hard to think honestly about these things, but nobody here can help you if you don't know what you want and why you want it.

I suggest you look for a school where your son's needs will be fully and enthusiastically met.  Where the teachers have experience and training with special needs, and where he will be warmly welcomed with the school's eyes wide open to his issues whatever they may be.  If you go down any other route than "best fit for my child", you'll be frantically paddling your legs under the water trying to make this work, constantly stressing about being counseled out and constantly wondering if the school is actually meeting his needs.  Every behavioral incident will cause you major stress in a way that it wouldn't at a school where he's comfortably within their target population.  It's not necessarily a good idea to get into a "stretch" school that your child only qualifies for because you've worked like crazy to make the perfect application and the interview day happened to be a good day for him.  You need a school that works for him on all his days.[/quote]
