Hello,
Could anyone give me some insight about these schools, and an overview of this area. I really like the area, and I have heard this too is an excellent school district but have a child that is Dyslexic and needs accommodations.... I cant get a feel for what kind of support there would be for him. I don't trust anything that is said on Great schools or school digger. The school is quite large, which I a little concerning. My husband was recently in the area and loved the area..so we were thinking of adding this in to our list.

I know that the Great Valley School District is fantastic, one of the best in the state. The area is also fantastic. I do not have any experience with your question, but maybe reach out to the school district and see what programs they offer? I am sure they have accommodations for students with special needs.

Yes, Great Valley is definitely held in high regard locally, which I am sure also translates to their special education programming.

Of course, if you're seriously interested, I'd recommend paying the district a visit, as nothing can substitute in-person experience. Also, as many of Pennsylvania's best school districts are larger in size, it's definitely not an indicator of quality.

Affluent areas, like Great Valley, will have the resources to hire enough teachers to produce desirable class sizes.

Good luck!
