Our Students
The Fletcher School serves students with Specific Learning Disabilities and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) (see specific grade level guidelines below).
Our bright and talented students have average to above average intelligence as defined in a psychological and educational assessment performed by a licensed psychologist, preferably using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. They may have difficulties in academic achievement in areas such as reading, written expression, math, or basic learning processes. Students may struggle with inattention or hyperactivity that can impact their learning. /20190220_69622.jpg)
Students who do not qualify for special services in the public schools may be considered for admission if they have been diagnosed with a Specific Learning Disability and/or ADHD. The Fletcher School is not able to serve children whose learning difficulties are the result of primary emotional or behavioral problems, intellectual disabilities, and/or students who are diagnosed under the classification of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Grade Level Guidelines for Admissions

Fine and Gross Motor Skills
-
Language Development

Students will be given provisional admittance for one academic year, at which time the student will be evaluated to determine an appropriate educational placement for the following year.

Grades 6 - 12
-
Diagnosis of a Specific Learning Disability should be within a two year period at the time of application.
-
Diagnosis of ADHD without a Specific Learning Disability will be considered where the student’s executive functioning skills or attention difficulties compromise the ability to learn or perform academically. The diagnosis is determined by a qualified professional, for example, a neurologist or psychiatrist, and should be current at the time of application.
Grades K - 12
-
An up-to-date Immunization Record, signed by the student's physician, is required for all students prior to the first day of school for admission to The Fletcher School. The School only recognizes valid medical exemptions with documentation from a licensed physician. Your child must be current with all North Carolina required immunizations in order to attend The Fletcher School.
