[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it matters for elementary but it will definitely matter for middle school and high school. [/quote] I think it would depend on your kid. My DD is above grade and she will get bored if she was not in a classroom with other above grade kids.[/quote] Boredom never hurt a kid. And if OP is on the Hill, all of the elementaries have a strong cohort of bright kids. And there is a lot of work in elementary that isn’t about memorizing facts that allows kids to perform at different levels. A lot of group projects as well. Like our 5th grade has a debate unit, a persuasive essay unit, lots of stuff that gives kids all the room they need. The only kid I know who truly needs more advancement is uniquely gifted and disengaged, not just “above grade level.” [/quote]
