In our well-heeled district, it looks more like this:

Low ability: constant advocacy and possibly legal action to get what your child needs
Average ability: easier path through the system

I don't think the divisive tenor of this thread is kind or reflective of the reality that it's typically very difficult to get an appropriate education for any child who's an outlier.

IMO all children should get an appropriate education.
