[quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about the "regular ed" that your child is already receiving?   If your child needs more of a challenge in certain areas, I believe most schools are pretty good at placing kids in an AAP classroom for reading or math,
as needed (assuming there is a center or local Level IV at the school).  The testing in 2nd grade also identifies kids who will get Level 3 services.

My kids were in a local level IV in elementary (the one in their school was under-enrolled and they were placed in the class - they tested at level 3).  They took honors classes n MS and a mix of honors and APs in high school with a few regular classes in their weaker areas.  My son benefited from the advanced math, and I think the school assigned the best teachers to those classrooms.  However, I don't think it was really that different from the regular ES classes.

Something like 2/3 of the kids in their middle/high school are labeled as gifted, which seems nuts.  However, by the time they reach high school, it really, truly does not matter.   97% of the kids go to college, even the "regular" children. Don't worry about it.    [/quote]
