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 gifted kids [b]who aren't challenged sometimes turn off.[/b] In theory, that's why these programs exist: Not to "get ahead" but to meet actual NEEDS. [/quote]

I think all parents of struggling kids say that (i.e., my kid is too smart for her own good). [/quote]
