We have a daughter who has been in a gifted school since pre-k - she is now completing 3rd grade. She scored a 147 on her IQ test and has always been in the highest level classes at the school, always getting straight A's. Issue is that now she does not like the school, not because the academic are hard (as they are not for her, AT ALL), but that the environment seems rigid and the teachers are not nice and the environment is too "rushy" as she says. She has started to exhibit anxiety symptoms and really is not a "happy camper." We found other privates that offer a solid, but not gifted, education with lots of arts, more child friendly an creative environment. But we are worried if this will be OK for her. Public is not an option as it is too crowded (and she auditory sensitivity and could not function in such a big school, and they will NOT diversify in any way). ANy advice?
