[QUOTE="NoMoreTrust, post: 244807, member: 5495"] We just started private school. Could not stand the idea of public middle school. I hated it as a student, and wife hated it as a teacher. It was private school or home school for us, as SD is not giving any services (that's an entire story on its own). HS may be an option (as the other kids have matured). One thing we learned on other kids with ADHD at the private school. A few are going back to public school for middle school. They feel with the "rapid fire" school day of movement every hour or so with something new, they will do well. As for the school, we picked one catering to LDs, so they have a process similiar to an iep, based on testing/reports. Also low ratios (max 10 kids in a class). It costs more (due to the lower ratio), but it is what is needed. Also helps toward the "iep" being done. A regular private school will probably not be much better that public, plus you have no rights in terms of IDEA. It will probably be worse from your perspectice, although the environment may be gentler. A regular, college prep or christian type private school is not really set-up to cater to your needs.
