Thank you so much for the reply ew8.
We are going to check the school out.
Yep LI taxes are so high and paying for school on top of it is crazy. This is why my husband doesn't want to move to LI. We live in Queens. It will be a bit of a drive but I feel like I would do anything to find an appropriate place for my DS.
We might try one year of gifted public to at least see how it is. But I hear 1st grade gifted is still 1st grade curriculum.
The Long Island School told me the IQ Test is valid for 3 years (could you confirm that), if so then we do have 1 year to play with before making the decision. And we could save 12K in the process! So your DD is also there? That is a lot of money. So far my other DS (2) is not showing any "gifted" signs.
