[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I would start looking at private.  My W-L 9th grader left PRE COVID because she was so checked out and unchallenged.  She could space out in class, do no homework and still has straight A's.  She's now shocked that she actually has to work for good grades.  If she's bored now I would absolutely start looking at private school.  [/quote]

We had heard differentiation actually happens in high school, with intensified/honors for multiple core subjects not just math. Why did that not help? I remember AP history being pretty intense for example. [/quote]

She was in AP and intensified classes.  Still unchallenged.  My older kid was also in AP, intensified and IB classes throughout all 4 years.  She was plenty challenged but she's more of a good, not gifted student.  Younger kid is gifted. [/quote]

How did they compare in middle school? Hard to know if truly gifted or just bright?  So if kids are just bright and studious, good differentiation is available in high school? That would be great. [/quote]

Gifted kid didn't lift a book and had straight A's without trying.  Other kid studied and kept on top of stuff and got good grades but not straight A's.  Yes, if you're bright and studious there is good differentiation available.  My oldest kid was definitely challenged and had to work for her grades.  [/quote]
