Private schools that are specifically set up for Learning Disabled (Eagle hill, Lindon hill, Winchester etc etc etc) will help, but the average private or prep school is not set up to provide the accommodations needed for “success.”

Prep schools are a disaster for students with compromised homework, self organization or executive functions. In most states the local public is a much better choice, with its required programs, then a private school.

I hate to say it, but realistic adjustment of expectation will lead to a less conflicted life.
