IME, catholic schools (and private religious schools in general) were not great for things like ADHD and behavior issues (my brother had to change schools in Kinder for this reason - so growing up we went to separate schools ). though we did have great luck with teacher in Primrose pre-K before DD started school. teacher was really willing to work with DD. in my case, due to the nature of DD's disorder, teachers in general really like being with DD and are willing to do extra things to help her (FTR, i think teachers at our current school are like this too, but are being quashed by the administration). if a private school administration doesn't have the same bureaucratic red tape as public school (plus doesn't have to deal with tons of other kids with severe & disruptive issues, like our school does) then maybe it would be better. i will have to talk to other parents and therapist to get a feel.
