[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t even know your kid is gifted. [/quote]

I don’t but we need to buy a house now, so are trying to figure out school options. And, as I mentioned in my OP, we have reasons to think there is a chance he will be.

If we weren’t home searching, I don’t think I would be as fixated on this, at least not for a couple more years.[/quote]

OP, I have a PG kid and when we were looking for a house we looked for a walkable neighborhood, [b]a safe school with highly educated families (parents with graduate degrees or Phds), [/b]and in a metro area where there are a lot of great cultural experiences and enrichment opportunities. DC is in late elementary and couldn't be happier. I don't think you need to overthink this. PG kids are often able to motivate themselves to do projects on their own. [/quote]

What does the school being “safe” have to do with having a PG child? Do you think a dangerous school is somehow nbd for kids with average or below average IQs?

Also, did you survey the parents at the schools you looked at to find out their education levels?[/quote]

DP but I think PP was just saying they looked for things educated MC/UMC families look for.  And you can find out neighborhood education data on lots of real estate/neighborhood info websites.  We chose our neighborhood in part because more than 60% of households had an adult with a graduate degree.[/quote]
