[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child will be in good company. Plenty of kids are well above grade level.[/quote] Such a tired response and simply not true in regards to what OP is talking about. No, most children at Sidwell, GDS the Cathedral schools and the like are profoundly gifted. No they are not. OP, NO, most will not allow skipping grades or even working at a higher level than the class in even one subject. You will have to supplement with programs out of school. Or get your child into a program for gifted students, which can be better in public school sometimes.[/quote] This is correct. Most students are above average in the 70-90 percentile. For kids 99 and above, their peers are few and far between. And rightfully so! There's just not that many of them. Summer camps specialized in interests can be particularly helpful for the PG child.[/quote]
