I don't know if you are looking for acceleration options for your child, did not read this thread very carefully.
But if yes , shop around. If you can afford (time and transportation) to have your child in a different school, in a different district - shop around. With so many charter schools poping around this days, there are other options. Shop around for teachers as well. A teacher I have met recently told me that gifted and talented money could come from the same pool as special ed.!!! Imagine that! She is looking into a program now that she can use for my DD and pilot it for other "above average" kids at the school.
