Yuck. But anyway, when my kid with scores in this range was in private school he was in the "most advanced" math and reading groups. Now that he's in public he's in magnets (and more challenged and happier). Different names for the same thing.

I agree. While it sure feels good to get a report saying your child has a FSIQ of 140-160, and it certainly suggests your child is smart, the class of kids with those scores is not quite as small as you might initially believe. I say that as a parent of two children with scores in that range. They're sort of clever, but so are most of their peers at the private school they attend.

Which privates can accommodate a child with in IQ in the 150 range and have them feel challenged but most importantly I want her to have a set of peers. Looking for co Ed school since I have a son as well. Thx.


None-go to public.


There are tons of kids with IQs of 150 and above in many, many schools. Its not that high.

Only a tiny number of privates, nearly none in this region, focus on or can even accommodate gifted kids. Go public.

There is no such thing as a pink reject slip on April 14.

You are an idiot.


...from the mouth of the uneducated. April 14th has no meaning to a nanny.

NP here. True, but she is still an idiot. The article is about a student struggling to maintain a B average, not about gifted children in private school, or anywhere else for that matter. Very few parents of kids struggling to get Bs are complaining about the lack of rigor in schools.


Another clueless "concrete" thinking skill set parent. Obviously not from NY but from the "South".

No wonder these nuts complain someone took their child's place at Ivy when the much deserved pink reject slip comes in on April 14th.
