I know of a few schools that we have looked at in the Los Angees area. Public schools, LAUSD has a highly gifted program. Thier are one or two elementary schools that have a HG+ group within the school. They have to test above 145 to get in. They also have a middle school with a group of HG+ and a part of a High School (North Hollywood High).
In regards to private, In orange county they have Pegasus Elementry. It is like a gate school, at least thats the way we saw it. Thier is also The Mirman School in Los Angels for HG kids (145 SBLM or 138WISC/WIPPSI to get in). Our DS6 goes to this school. It's been a great fit for us, but may not work for all. Thier is no one school that can meet everyone's needs. For us Mirman has been a good fit, it has provoided a peer group. The school is very good at pushing personal responsibility, and natural consequences for actions. Other none gifted high schools in the area that seem good are Whitney HS in Cerritos, Taft in Fullerton, and a few others that I can't think of right now. With Private HS, thier is Harvard/Westlake, an amazing school but very expensive.
Note many private schools offer financial assistance, even if you have a moderate income.
