Middle School for a Teen with Learning Differences and OD?

Hello. Does anyone know of a great school for an 8th grader who has Learning Differences? We have visited Big Minds, Tilden, Linda Moodbell and none of these seem like a good fit. We also visited Fusion, and the head of school was great, however, he insisted that if my son did not want to be there, there was no point in enrolling him. Looking for a place where people are willing to give my son a try, even if at the beginning he does not want to be there. My child has been traumatized by the public school system. He is funny, intelligent, and kind.

You should check out Mentoring Academy in Rockridge.  It is a very small and individualized college-prep high school, but they will take students in 8th grade if they feel like they can serve them.  They pride themselves on really getting to know each student (the entire school is 30 students) and figuring out what motivates each one.  My son has been really happy there.   www.mentoringacademy.org
