[QUOTE="buddy, post: 514948, member: 12886"] Poor thing. I hope the new school does well. Ratings do not reflect reality most times. With NCLB, schools end up rated lower because they ARE willing to work with the kids that have a harder time, and they dont tend to test as well. But if looking at other measures, like IEP progress reports, individual grades and improvement in a child's test scores (even if not proficient) over years, then you get a better idea. So, it is likely your hunch is right. It is also a possibility that because this school was not willing to even bring their concerns to you (it seems anyway) that there is way more to the picture going on. She sounds like she has high ability but as you said, further assessment is very important. Even if this school is more tolerant, if she needs more help then she will need it regardless of how understanding they are. What can look like adhd could really be the auditory processing disorder. Of course she can seem inattentive if she has an auditory processing problem of any kind. Does she have a general sensory integration disorder? Could there be other issues going on? How does she do with friends etc. (did I ask you this already, sorry if I did... I should go look) I am changing schools for my son too. I hope it goes well for you. If this happens again...that you notice she is struggling, then I am sure you have heard this before, but you will probably want to request an evaluation for an IEP/special education. Send it certified mail so you have proof they got it. Just depends if you find them to be an accommodating school in general, but you will have specific rights with an IEP that just are not built into a 504 plan if they are not good with follow through. You will get a sense of it. by the way I have walked up on people AS they were talking/gossiping about my son, in public, using his name. Once so loudly that I heard the chick across a parking lot. I came right up to her and told her that this conversation is completely inappropriate.
