Our suburban public school district has been very accommodating and gifted friendly to us. DD began attending school here in 4th grade and as soon as IQ and achievement testing were done, a plan was made for her to join the GT classroom. Since she was an early entry to K, she was additionally subject accelerated another year in math and LA. This year (officially a 6th grader in the school) she began pre-Algebra and found the pace slow. She spoke to her teacher and guidance counselor and after some discussion she was advanced to Algebra.
This school district recognizes how gifted children learn and most math classes go deeper as well as faster than regular curriculum. The school is also friendly to non-GT academically advanced students as they can test into portions of the GT program. I have watched my daughter go from frustrated daydreamer to an active participant in learning. It took a lot of research and sacrifice to move to this district but it has been worth it.
