Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Best high schools for gifted kids

We are very new to this state. I think I need to wait and see to get good idea about the schools in this state.
Here St. Marks is a very famous private school as a road to Ivy league colleges and not sure whether it is worth spending money there or not.
All these schools I need to apply now for the 2006-2007 year admission.
Another one is TAMS which is highly selective.
Students enter TAMS following their sophomore year of high school, live in a UNT residence hall and attend UNT classes with college students. After four semesters, they graduate from TAMS with 60 hours of college credit and the equivalent of a high school diploma.
I am not sure leaving my kid so early to live on his own is a good idea or not. He has excellent apetite for learning but struggles with organizational skills.
