From what Ive read they have to be at Jr high (middle school) level to qualify for the school. So yes, we have some time. Dd is reading at middle school level and her spelling is already at 5th grade but she has some time before all of her subjects are at that level. Her rate of acceleration right now seems to be skyrocketing and so who knows how long it will be before she is at that level.

Lets say she does go to the DA. If she completes all HS level work does she technically graduate? I wonder how that works. There's much I need to research IF she seems to be headed that direction. This all may be mute if she doesnt get into the YSP so thats why we're just taking things one day at a time. wink

Im sorry your son has a tough time making friends. I know that must be hard. frown
