I am so sorry about your news. It is so hard to feel like you don't have any good options. I think it is wrong that the school won't let your child go because of an age requirement.
I don't know where you live but in our state I heard that parents can open enroll their child into any school district they want. Mabe there is another public school near by that would be more flexible or have GT programs that your child could be in.
It seems like there is not alot of options for young kids going through this until like 2nd or 3rd grade. I hope you find a solution. Please give us an update on how things are going.
