OK. So we are looking at moving to LA and the LAUSD standards for gifted are both too high and too low... either a ridiculously low top 15% for gifted or a top 0.2% percent for highly gifted... so either middle class bright or DYS level...
I also don't get the impression they are doing a good job with special ed overall...
So if you kid is not obviously DYS level gifted I would expect to be shunted into a weak program for compliant kids at best. That is a disaster for a 2E kid. Homeschooling or enriching is an option depending on how traumatic the normal school day is.
