The best schools in Dallas for kids with ADHD are the private ones that are geared to that population -
Shelton School
Winston School
Fairhill
Oak Hill
Glen Lakes
Dallas Academy

I don't know of any public school that does an especially good job with ADHD kids. Does your son have an IEP or 504 where he is at now?

Coppell, Plano and Frisco are all good school districts, in general.

We are looking at Oak Hill Academy and the Winston School for our 7 year old daughter who has mild Asperger's and ADHD. Does anyone have a favorable opinion of one over the other?

I would pick whatever school is the better match for your child. Have you called both of them? You may not even have a choice because one of the schools may say it's not a match. Or you may tour both and one may be the obvious choice once you visit. Your daughter may decide she likes one over the other after her Visitor Days. Or have you already been through all of these steps, have offers from both and now it's your turn to pick?

She visited and liked both. We have offers from both and are trying to decide. We're leaning towards Winston because it seems a little stonger academically.

Yes I would agree with that. Winston would be stronger academically.

^ I have heard NOTHING but excellant reports about the Winston school.

My sister who was a elementary school Administrator, speaks VERY highly of thier school and summer program, as well a thier testing program to identify learning difficultites or differernces.

Our friends daughter was flagged at her public school (A VERY WELL reguarded public school district) as having dyslexia, it was going to take over 3mo for the scvhool to do all the testing and get results and get her into the program etc... So she contacted the Winston school and they tested her and got results back in a few weeks...It WAS NOT dyslexia, she is a delayed learner. Put a bunch of the parents fears to rest...with a bit of extra help at home the child got a commended score on the TAKS test.
She can not say enough good things about the school the staff etc...

If your daughter seems to "fit" there and you like the atmosphere for your child and you can afford it...I think you will be VERY happy there!
