So, I did reach out to a mom of a friend of my three year old DD who I know has a 2nd grade boy who has been identified in our district (not the same school) and we're going over there for dinner on Fri nite so I can hear more about her experience. I believe he was tested in first grade. So that will be good to hear about.
It is interesting b/c we did have a private (Jewish Day School) option that we seriously considered. It would have been Hebrew immersion which I believe she would have LOVED as well as testing right off the bat in kindergarten, but even still I was not convinced her gifted ed options were as meaty, if that makes sense? It is one gifted teacher rather than one for every school and an entire program lead by the district. You know? So it would have been quite one-sided from this one teacher's perspective. And she had K-12 grade as well. So, it is our fall-back, but I am hoping public will be the better bet for us.
