[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried CTY? They would be in class with other high performing peers which could get them out of the rut. My poor kid was in the dumbed down curriculum and became catatonic by the end of the school year, producing mediocre work. Being around kids who are at their same level might snap them out of that.[/quote]
CTY is overpriced. If you're willing to go online and have gifted kids, there are better options like AoPS, NUMATS, Davidson, Athena's Academy, Astra Nova, Cresco Nova, Synthesis, Northwestern GLL, Eclipse Academy, Online G3, Stanford OHS, Lukeion, and CLRC. https://www.davidsongifted.org/gifted-blog/online-gifted-learning-options/[/quote]

Thank you for this.

We do AoPS but hadn’t heard about some of the others.  Not the OP, but I’ll look into these.[/quote]

PP here. AoPS is the best in math for most gifted kids if you're looking to go deep rather than accelerate. They have text-based online classes (and a self-paced prealgebra and algebra 1 class) at https://artofproblemsolving.com/school and more expensive live video classes at https://virtual.aopsacademy.org/. If your kid really wants to go deep into math competitions and you're willing to pay, check out AlphaStar and AwesomeMath. If you want acceleration, check out mathacademy.com (self-paced). If you don't like competition math and want something more like higher level math but accessible to a gifted elementary or middle schooler, check out EMF math. If you're worried about time investment and want enrichment that won't exhaust a kid already doing math in school, check out mrmathonline.com (very affordable) and imacs enrichment classes.[/quote]
