1. FCPS TJ
2. Big 3 Private - Sidwell, STA, NCS
3. MCPS - Richard Montgomery Magnet
4. Second tier Privates - Holton, Maret
4. MCPS - W schools
5. FCPS top schools - McLean, Langley, Oakton, Marshall

NP. We are in FCPS and I have two kids with ADHD and ASD and the teachers are very experienced with ADHD and my kids are doing well. There are lots of kids with ADHD in AAP and also a number of kids with ASD.
