I am getting Custody of my 17 year old grandson... He has ADHD + ODD + Medical Disorders + Learning Disorter

Well, I have to say that we loved Mesquite until Katrina happened. I have a 20 year old that went to Horn all four years and loved it until her Sr year and the school had started going down hill. This past year my now 10th grade daughter couldn’t handle all of the bulling and drugs at Horn and decided to move in with a relative to get away from the school.

I have a 7th grader at Terry and she loves it. We haven’t had any issues there. I also have a 2nd grader at Thompson and it seems to be a really good school, but she needs extra assistance due to ADD and they don’t really offer it.

We are trying to move out of Mesquite because of the high school issues and the lack of LD assistance. We just haven’t found anything better yet.
