Can anyone recommendations for middle school on the Peninsula?
I would love to hear from any parent with a great middle school experience on the Peninsula (Burlingame down to Mountain View) for a girl with ADHD and dyslexia but able to track on grade level provided she can use assistive technologies and other scaffolding accommodations. In short, we are looking for a mainstream school with a warm, accepting and supporting attitude towards this kind of student. Thank you for any insights!

Both of my kids have attended the Keys School in Palo Alto. They are "whole child centered" and accept that there are many different types of learning styles, good classroom size, a welcoming environment, and good academics. You might also want to check out Charles Armstrong in Belmont, which is specifically for students with Dyslexia. I have known several kids who went to Charles Armstrong and have done very well in learning the skills they needed to attend and do very well at a main-stream high school.
