Did you try any of the websites like greatschools.org? you can read other people's reviews.

I truly believe our children with ADHD can thrive anywhere, with the help from different sources. For my son a strict schedule and a good night sleep does wonders. The strict schedule can be a pain for me because I stick to the 8:30pm bedtime which means we leave events early, have to plan everything for the day time and as a single mom... I'm in before dark everyday. However, I get less calls from camp and school.

I try not to "cater" to the ADHD by looking into school and camps that specifically for ADHD because I know the world doesn't cater to those with ADHD. I want my son to learn to the skills to live in this world.

My sons special combo for a great day is good night sleep, strict bedtime, high protein diet, vitamins, medication, busy (high energy) activities such as football, soccer, etc. and reward/ chore chart. It can be exhausting but my reward is not seeing him struggle with the inability to "stay calm"

Hope this helps
