[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids tested as gifted and did the CES program in ES and then went back to home schools for MS and HS. They had varying degrees of challenges. Both liked the CES but it was a huge change for just two years to just end up back with the same students in 6th and beyond. Fwiw plenty of kids who didn’t get into CES are doing just as well if not better than my kids. Gifted doesn’t mean hardworking and they may not want to reach their full potential; so don’t assume that remaining in mainstream mcps will be detrimental for him.

I would suggest you see how much you can challenge him at home and see what he does with it. Find more challenging books at the library, get cool science kits and go to museums and have nature experiences that are above and beyond. Look into summer camps like chess camps and coding. Plenty available if you look!

I would say that if you truly hadn’t realized he was gifted until now then he’s likely in the right place for the time being. [/quote]
