[quote=Anonymous]Last spring DC was found eligible for level IV services and we opted to stay at our base school which has one class.  (DC had high scores but in our mind is just a goofy kid who is creative and a quick thinker - not truly gifted.)  We did this for a variety of reasons and against the advice of some others around us.  Base school is a good school that all the neighbors love - we really want to keep our faith in its level IV class.  DC has had a good experience this year, but it seems there were very few level IV kids who also chose to stay.  In addition, kids who reapplied and were found eligible this year are considering transferring.

After reading other threads on this forum and elsewhere, I keep seeing that people really feel there is a difference betw the Center and LLIV (not just relating to the extracurriculars - for which DC already has enough non-academic ones to keep busy).  On the one hand we feel that it can't make much of a difference at this young age and it certainly won't determine what DC makes of him/herself later - which is what is truly important.  On the other hand, can't help wondering if DC is missing out on anything by staying in the base level IV classroom.   Any thoughts from those who have switched in either direction or have kept one child in LLIV  and one child at the CTR?  [/quote]
