[quote=Anonymous]OP - ignore the haters RE the IQ test. It used to be all schools required testing in the past, I don't know which schools require it for age 10...but it would more likely be WISC or WIPPSI.

We also had teachers approach us in this way - we went to speak to an educational consultant (Theodra Washington) to get their opinion on what the teachers were trying to communicate. We let it be known that we were looking for feedback and that we had planned on going public (and she herself had used both public and private in her own decisions).  The testing and advice we received was very helpful and we were able to better understand why teachers had recommended private. (plenty of gifted students are very well served in public - including our own cluster)  In the end, we had a very good experience with a mix of k-8 and then Big 3 for HS.

As others probably have noted - it's not just test scores. And, not all private school kids are superstars. You should be looking for a match.  And, do not expect your child to be on advanced tracks in private. There's generally one track - sometimes it's possible to get 2 math tracks in middle school (but not everywhere by any means)  - and high school is sometimes 3 levels (but highest level in that case tends to be theoretically based).
 
Good luck.[/quote]
