Schools are not required to provide appropriate sports opportunities for everyone.

Sadly, the real world is the inverse of this. In most high schools, sports - especially football, gets a lot of resources and attention thrown at it. It is an institution.

If your DS can run a 5.5 sec 40 yard dash when he is 12 years old, that will get him a lot more attention than a 190 IQ.

Furthermore, most school districts do not have the numbers of GT kids to where they can group them together in the same class so that they have true peers and can have the specialized instruction and curriculum they need.
