This a bright kid -- CoGAT was 138 -- but also a kid who struggles a little with math and has ADHD. Socially he has been much better off at the AAP center than he was at base.

If he has been better off in the AAP center, have you considered pupil placing your younger child in the AAP center school? I pupil placed my kindergartner in my son's AAP center school to avoid three different schools. You just need to fill out a transfer request.

In general, an ADHD-and-AAP-eligible student will do better at a Center than Local Level IV. You may have to consider what to do when your middle child goes to middle school and your youngest may not be Center-eligible (yet).

IQ of 138 is bright. Is a COGAT of 138 really considered bright?

There is a lot to be said for being in your community school.
