elemenatry schools in the walton cluster for a kid with autism (Marietta: neighborhoods, middle school)

[snowflakes.crystal]

Hi,

We would be relocating to Marietta very soon. East cobb seems to be a preferred place based on the schools and family oriented neighborhoods in that place. I would love to get feedback from parents in the similar situations and what worked best for them.

1. We have a special needs fourth grader who has high functioning autism and at present in collaborative model where there is inclusion for 50-60% and rest of it pull out in small groups where more support is needed.

2. some of the neighborhoods we are searching happens to be in Walton cluster .Does anyone with special needs kids can share any insight about these school ,Sope creek , mount bethel,east side and timber ridge.I am concerned about teacher's experience,flexibility and support from the administrators and also the middle school that they feed into since my kid will be there in 1-2 years.

Murdock has an autism inclusion class this year. It has 4 students (all boys I believe). I don't know much about it though my friend is a para pro in the class. Some Murdock neighborhoods feed into Walton.
