Yep this is the problem, the Long Island School For The Gifted Is Too Far. And of course Manhattan has plenty of private school that I am sure would bend over backwards for you if you can afford 30k+ a year. So, now we are thinking of finding a 4 grade teacher to tutor him after school assuming Public in Sept is a wash. Maybe public will be better than I expect. I will bring his boxload of completed workbooks and composition books and book reports etc to show them the work he has done and take it from there I guess.
