I would also look at Brooke Grove ES. Often has smaller class sizes and special education/learning resources. You may want to talk to staff at school.

I posted on the special needs forum but didn't get any responses, so I thought I'd post here. I have read that Belmont and Greenwood are both excellent schools. Anyone have experience with their IEP teams?


My child had 29 kids in her class in Kindergarten, but I think I was just unlucky. It will vary by year, but green zone schools tend to have a lot more kids in the classroom.

Take a look at these to get an idea:
