Well, that would be a nice thing to expect, but I don't think realistically that happens very often. When your DS is with your DH, that is one-on-one tutoring, compared with being in a classroom full of other kids at various levels.

I think you are doing absolutely the right thing trying to come up with ideas for the school for next year. The GT cluster may provide more appropriate instruction, but if not, your DS would be able to move along at his own pace using some online curriculum, such as Aleks or EPGY. Since your school does use MAP, hopefully your DS will be placed with others who have similar scores and hopefully they plan what they will teach based on what those MAP scores are.
