Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment WISC-IV results for DD7

Hi,
I'm also in OC and have been through hell and back with my district/home school. They absolutely will not advance, even when data supports, and their idea of differentiation is putting all the kids who aren't failing in one classroom for reading and not even that for math. My child reports basically being left on her own for most of school. I could go on and on. I'm not the only parent who has reported these challenges, and believe me, I'm a squeaky wheel. I finally gave up and supplemented and we got a district transfer for next year to a GATE pull-out magnet. The only other option is Pegasus and that's cost-prohibitive. I'm curious about the Charter's you are referring to. I don't know where you are in OC, but you might want to look into Circle View in the Huntington Beach Ocean View district for their pull-out program. Feel free to message me.

Additionally, you can transfer to any district that offers a program that your home district does not and GATE pull-out programs are a common reason. You can do this as long as data supports. Your home district has to release you for that reason and usually the GATE pull-out districts are happy to take as it increases their scores. Again, if you have any questions, just message me.
