[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends the kind of accelerated program the high school has in place.  Our high school is a 3- however, they have an amazing program for accelerated students.  They are literally bussed away for half the day to special math and science center (they apply for test into) at no cost.  And your child gets to be with like-minded peers for most of the day too which is important.  I would not send my child to an underperforming elementary school.  But middle and high schools it can sometimes work if 1) your child is advanced 2) they have special programs that would meet those needs [/quote]

OP again. My local elementary school is a GS 4. Would you say that's good enough, or is that the point where you'd consider private school?[/quote]

What the population like? It’s it a few UMC neighborhoods mixed with some apartments or condos?

That’s how our school is - there is no middle class, the students all live in 600k-$1.2M townhomes or homes or they receive free lunch. There is no in between. In our experience it’s been fine as there are more than enough students similar to our kids for them to find a good peer group.[/quote]
This is us.  Look at the test scores for your demographic group. Our school gets penalized because the low income kids do not do as well.  But most kids scores are like 9/10. [/quote]
