[quote=search_n-rescue]Hi,
I don't know the Long Island school but we placed our daughter (16) in a gifted school this year after many mishaps in the traditional system. What we looked at was the teachers' personalities and backgrounds, how they relate to the students, and how the students get on with the teachers and their peers. We found that gifted people (teachers and students) form very strong and animated bonds once they find each other, as long as the environment is healthy. We absolutely love what that has done for our daughter - she's found not only a school but another home.
Of course, we looked at the curriculum too, but we've found that as long as our DD is settled, the work simply follows anyway.
