If you have a special needs or ADHD child - Good Luck! You will need it in the WLB School District. The district's professional staff insist they are smarter than medical professionals and getting help from this VERY difficult. NJ has strong laws that require school districts to provide as much help and spend as much money as needed, but these folks will fight you for every nickel. They sign off on treatment plans, but they never seem to get put in place.

FAS is a godd school ONLY if your child is an averge student and interested in sports as extracurricular activities. Being a parent of both an advanced acadmeically child and an ADHD child I found the school to be worse then lacking on both extremes. For the advance child there were no real challenges. The schools A.T. program was at best a fun distraction, but certainly not of any real value.Plus children were almost penalized by other teachers for being involved in it. For my ADHD child it has been a constant struggle to have even the barest of services provided.
