[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We are currently in early elementary at APS and deciding if we should stay or move to another county. Our DC is highly gifted, and although already identified for gifted services, differentiation is pretty much not existent. DC mentioned they haven't learned anything in math at school all year, which isn't a surprise since they are able to perform multiple grade levels ahead. Not sure if we ride it out until middle school. Is the grass really greener elsewhere? [/quote]

Do you like your neighborhood?  Your house?  Your community?  Is your kid happy?  Are you happy?  What is your commute like if you have one?  What type of lifestyle are you looking for as they get older and do you want them to have a walkable or bikable tween/teen adolescent experience or are you looking for something different?  This last one is a critical thing to think about.

These are the things you should be thinking about and less about the services for giftedness in math.  The math will be the same anywhere in the end and is easily solvable right now if you want to live where you are living.[/quote]
 100%. My 99th percentile in everything kid had times he was bored in APS but as parents who both worked outside of the home we valued a short commute. As he got older he could walk and bike places. Arlington has lots available for teens. Ended up in intensified classes and TJ. No regrets. [/quote]

Yeah, if you get to leave APS for high school and go to the Governor School at TJ of course you like the outcome[/quote]
