What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, January 1, 2013

My oldest son is now a sophomore at Atlee. The teachers seem very attentive to his needs. My son has a high functioning form of Autism. (Aspergers Syndrome)He is very intelligent and has moved into AP and IB studies. Some of his teachers have personally called me to let me know how well he has been working with them and other students in his class. The counselors are always willing to meet with me if I have any concerns. My younger son will be attending the school need year. He has ADHD and an SLD. I hope that the same communication will continue in regards to my younger sons issues. My biggest problem is not with the school but the state of Virginia's new policies and requirements regarding High School Diploma's. It will be difficult for my younger son to acquire a standard High School Diploma. Close Quote
