[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the rarity of 3rd grade spots I would look at those which have a good number of K openings. I also would really check out a Montessori program - we are at one, and it's definitely all about "follow the child" and independent work. I think in upper elementary it's a bit different but a good teacher could be awesome for him. That said, I have no idea if any of the montessori charters in DC accept at that grade, given that they like kids to grow up in the model. The schools to look up are: Lee, Shining Stars, Breakthrough (but I think they haven't got a 3rd grade yet), Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan.

It's going to be a long shot to get something better suited than what you have, definitely try and talk to parents of kids at the upper grades in these schools. You may want to look into Creative Minds and Bridges which are known to have programming for special needs, though they may not handle gifted well.

It's off your commute path - but for 3rd, you could also legitimately try to lottery into Mann school - while they don't have a 'gifted' program, they have a strong experience with lots of very high performing kids and have figured out a way to accommodate more off the books differentiation and challenges for kids than most schools...[/quote]
