I hope that they are doing true differentiation. Our school district feels that they can accomodate all needs through differentiation and that just doesn't seem to be the case. My DD isn't as high as some of the kids mentioned on these boards and differentiation just didn't cut it for her. You mentioned that this isn't a "gifted" school so that means that there are still ND kids in the classroom of the same age? That greatly affects the level of differentiation. On the other hand if they are willing to allow your DS to move to a higher grade, that might part might be beneficial.
