We are relocating and deciding between 2 public schools. Private is not an option. One offers a formal gifted program. The other does not. Can anyone offer insight as to how to approach the schools with private testing reports and have a discussion on

1) for the school with formal program, how to get kiddos considered for/into the gifted ed for the one school

2) (having difficulty phrasing this question) - for the school without formal program, how does it work with similarly situated students: differentiation, etc.?

Also, do schools place more emphasis on transferring student record or the current private testing that addresses the underperformance?

Thank you
