[quote=Anonymous]Hi. Seconding the suggestion to post on and/or search the special needs forum. There has been a lot posted on the GTLD program there.

My kid went through that program a couple years ago. It was a mixed bag in our case, mostly due to inexperienced teachers, and approach that focused on disabilities more than the giftedness, too much isolation and not enough mixing with other kids, and as a PP said, a few kids that really struggled with behavior.

Having said that, for the first time my kid met others like them, who were both smart but also struggled in some areas, which really improved their self esteem. They are still really close to a few of the kids, even though they are all at different middle schools now.

Finally, I would say both a new principal, different teachers, and frankly, COVID closures mean that no one can really tell you how the program is now unless they were there last year.

Your best bet is to visit the school, see the classroom if at all possible, and to talk with the principal.
