they try to use in-class differentiation until then (with a bit of enrichment tossed in now and again, but inconsistent with no real tracking of growth), and it's not been enough for my kids. I've had to push for more, because the school tends to use delay tactics -- before you know it, the year is over.
This.
I would be wary of the plan to offer enrichment in the future. Also, for a child like yours, it very well may be better than nothing...but not nearly enough.
We found our school administration wonderful about offering to help...until we actually asked for something (because differentiation was not leading to any growth - and this was documented by their own testing). Eventually, we realized that they were stalling and had no intention on doing anything different, so we now school outside of school (an imperfect solution, for sure). I hope that you have better luck than we did.
In terms of outside programming, have you applied for DYS?
