Also, a kid who is DYS-level plus a bit may have a hard time in most gifted programs. Programs serving the HG+ kids might be a better fit, but there are fewer of those. There is a good concentration of them in the Twin Cities area, but I still know several families from there who've chosen to homeschool because they can't get a good school fit.

Long ago, I heard someone on some HG+ forum say that one should never move for a school. The idea was that a good school fit for these kids is just too tenuous and too temporary to make disrupting a whole family worthwhile. It's really hard to figure out how well a school will work for your child until he or she is really a student there, and basing a move on such an unknown can be pretty risky.
