Age vs. grade - 10/25/08 03:52 AM
I'm a total newbie so if my questions are stupid I ask your forgiveness..........
My 5 yo son recently tested extremely high (sorry, I don't know the correct term). We live in a state that has no services for him. My son is 5 yo and working his way through 5th grade. If a school in another state identifies itself as a gifted school that services K-5, where does my son fall? Is he a Kindergartener at a gifted school or a 5th grader? If I can't move for another year, is he going to be expected to move to middle school for 6th grade?
Help!
