[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no consensus on grade skipping and gifted students!

Are you concerned about whether Gilman is a good fit for your kid?  Or concerned that your kid may not be accepted?  I don’t see that it focuses on gifted education. You are looking for high school??[/quote]

Concerned that skipping a grade will reflect negatively and he will be granted conditional acceptance if he repeats a grade.

I think he would be bored skipping a grade & 5 years of tuition would be more of a stretch for us.

Without knowing more, a conditional acceptance does seem like a possibility, so you will just have to figure out whether that would be acceptable to your family. I would definitely cast a wider net and look at McDonough and other privates in the area.

Has your kid qualified for CTY classes?  Assume you have WISC scores or similar. If so, you can always use those data points when discussing the academic situation with the school. [/quote]

We would love to cast a wider net, but transportation is an issue given our location. 
We have taken CTY classes over the summer & do have IOWA scores. 
Stanine for ISEE were 7s[/quote]
