This.  The school is not saying anything to you, because they don't want to and really aren't capable of doing anything to educate your child at his/her level.  Make sure he/she is in top reading group, and on the accelerated math track, but know that you might have to provide more opportunity for challenge at home and deal with boredom, anxiety or bad behavior at school because of mismatch between cognitive ability and level of challenge in class.

Definitely apply to the HGC, if accepted go to the Open House and ask a lot of questions.  If it fits the family, I would strongly consider it.  Frankly, thinking more deeply about whether the HGC is the right fit is a waste of time until you have an admit letter.  Do it quickly.  Deadline is November 8th.  [/quote]

Back again. My child (the third grader discussed above) is in all of the highest groups and still seems very engaged in school at this point. DC just makes every assignment into a game, almost -- expanding the work with tons of extra detail, sending extra problems back to the teacher, etc. The school hasn't reached out to us, probably for the reasons PP mentioned. We are applying to the HCG, but the numbers from our school seem difficult to surmount (about 40 applied and only 5 were admitted last year).[/quote]
