My oldest is globally gifted as well and probably globally HG. Pre and post skip, she tested in the 99th percentile on english, reading, science, social studies... everything except math. Math usually runs btwn the 92nd to 97th percentile (again pre and post skip). We did the subject acceleration in her strongest subject (literacy). It wasn't a fix b/c she didn't belong in the grade level classroom even in her weakest area, but it was a good intro. Good luck! I hope that you can work something out.
