I would look to the national blue ribbon schools as a rule, but that would be a guess on my part.

My daughter is 16 and in 9th grade. She has ADD and anxiety disorder. I will check out these groups in the area, thanks.

Unfortunately, Greatschools is a nationwide forum, and you don't mention the age of your child, or their disability. I have a son with ADHD/LDs, and know that even if two children have the same diagnosis, they may not have the same needs, so it's really difficult to recommend a particular school.

I have found the best way to find out about good schools and other resources in a given area is by joining a parent support group in the local community. For example, if your child has ADHD, a CHADD parent support chapter (www.chadd.org) might be helpful, or if they had dyslexia try IDA, or www.thearc.org is good for autism/downs syndrome.
For general info/support, I'd also like to invite you to join Greatschools Learning and Attention Difficulties Group at community.greatschools.net/groups/11554
