[quote=Anonymous]In Virginia, the "gifted" schools are Nysmith and Basis.  They are completely different environments than more traditional prep schools (of which I attended so I am not trying to be offensive).  They may be a better environment for your child or if they are not conveniently located, you could contact them and ask.  Or even ask your current school for their thoughts.  If you don't think the current school is a good fit, it may be that they agree but don't want to push you out.  If you open the dialogue with the current school, perhaps they can provide guidance.  I truly believe that while there is sometimes competition among schools, the schools do appreciate the special niches that each school seems to fill.  That is one of the wonderful things about DC.  We have so many amazing private schools that fill so many different niches.  A big 3 would not feel slighted if you decided your child would fit in better at a niche school.  And from a purely monetary standpoint, those schools have long waiting lists ready to fill in your child's spot.  [/quote]
