[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the criteria for being considered PG? My IQ is 147 and my sister’s is 153. We were both educated in public schools and then top privates and top universities. We were definitely bored in public school (even in gifted programs), but felt challenged in our private schools. We went private for MS and HS (my sister) and HS (me).

I wouldn’t call either of us profoundly gifted, so I guess I’m just wondering the point at which you get to people who truly need special accommodations.[/quote]

It depends on the test. PG is generally considered to be 99.9% and above IQ.

Thanks. So, according to at least one of those tests, my sister is profoundly gifted and I'm within the margin of error of PG. As I said before, we were challenged in our private schools. I'm not saying our experience is necessarily applicable to OP's son's, but it does suggest that at least some private schools can accommodate profoundly or at least highly gifted children.

I will also note that our private schools did a ton of differentiation at the MS and HS levels. [/quote]
