Wow Shari, I guess I won't complain about my 90 daily miles to take DS to and from school!
And I wish we could "like" posts here; your post about the possibilities of making it work no matter where you are is so wonderful and true. Although, I have to say that in our particular situation it has been nice to have an out-of-district option 45 miles away, even though our local district was willing to be flexible with our kiddo. It's been a lot less stressful for me to deal with people who get HG kids than to repeatedly convince new people that my kiddo really does need more challenge, despite his age and poor handwriting.
And to the OP, I'm glad you have found a good fit school for now. Yay! It's a relief to know that there are options that work. You are likely still in for a lot of advocacy and searching for school options that will work, but you're ahead of the game in recognizing that you will need to be flexible.
