[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad to have the input that centers are a better fit for quirky kids. Mine is not quirky and I worried about that issue. It sounds like keeping at the base school is a better fit since mine is not a stereotypically nerdy smart kid.[/quote]

If your kid does not need the extra "stuff" from a Center (including supports), I agree the neighborhood school should work out just fine.[/quote]

Centers are for the stereotypical gifted kids. Local Level IV schools are for the stereotypical bright kids.

I'm the one who said my child is not stereotypically nerdy smart. But he is much more like the Gifted Learner profile than the Bright Child profile. You can be a gifted learner yet be much more typical when it comes to personality and social skills. It seems like by my saying he is not "quirky" or "nerdy" you're inferring that he is not actually a gifted learner.[/quote]
