One question I had learned to ask is, "Are there other students in his class that will be around his level?", "Are the lessons differentiated or taught traditionally?"
My son's school life was much easier and smoother for him to thrive with other peers who shared similar ability. This meant moving to an area where I felt the school could provide what he needed.
Also, it is a great idea to meet with the gifted coordinator for the district. When they truely understand the issues gifted students face in school they had helped tremendously in keeping my son challenged with fustrated teachers (DS15 is 2E) and sometimes his fustrated mom (me).
