What makes you say it doesn't sound like she would be a good fit there? Do you have experience with the program?

The reason to "bother" is that she's genuinely gifted in math and science. I worry that she's going to struggle academically -- especially in math and science -- for the next four years unless she finds her academic peers.

But socially she's a typical teen and is interested in dating and pop culture and all that stuff, and at the moment she's saying she chooses social fit over academic. I'm asking those with experience if that's a real choice or a false one. [/quote]

Why would she struggle academically if she's genuinely gifted in math and science and she's in her home high school? I don't understand.[/quote]

Because this is what gifted children tend to do when faced with excruciatingly easy work. Different poster here.

OP, I've always told my kids to try out for magnets or other selective programs, and worry about making a choice only if they got in. Try to persuade her, and go from there. Both my kids are in selective programs, and they are happy with their choices.[/quote]
