[quote=Anonymous]I would go public until your kid gets a little older and you figure out his needs. I would settle in an area with highly educated families and a well regarded public school system that has a reputation for working with families and being flexible on meeting kids needs, including letting them take classes above grade level. This works best if the middle school is really close to the High School. Look at the HS curriculum for AP, IB or DE. And take a really good look at the gifted services delivery model. These vary widely. Some systems have push-in models, others have separate classes or even separate schools for gifted kids. I would also be in a large city with diverse offerings, so that way your kid can do a lot of things outside of school. In WDC, there is SO much a gifted kid can do outside of school. Also, a large city will have privates that you can consider as your kid gets older. [/quote]
