It has been amazing for us. While one of my kids plays well with anyone, she does connect in a different way to gifted peers. For the other one the difference is even more marked. I really feel that it gives the kids a great benefit, not just socially but in many other ways. People comment that you have to let kids be kids; ironically, being among gifted kids lets them do that. In other environments, my dd would be the odd one that is reading the books she reads, or talks about certain things. Surrounded by similar kids, they are not marked by the reading or their advanced math...
I also love to see how their ideas grow from each other, the inventions they come up with, etc.
