I've had bad luck with this. I tried to keep us all on the same team, to point out how what I wanted was in keeping with the district's mission statement...Keep reasuring that you will take responsibility for her "social life" -

and be prepared that a single grade may not be enough to make a difference. Sometimes gifted kids get caught in the "more homework, but not more mind work" problem, so they have less time to pursue what really satisfies them.

Is this a government paid or out of pocket school?

Do you have any alternatives?

Can she test into the comprehensive schools?

Best Wishes,
Trin
