My exceptionally gifted daughter turns 5 22 days after the kindergarten cutoff. We are trying to weigh our options for next year and I just keep getting more and more worried that we won't find the right fit for her (and us). We are 55th on the waiting list of the Classical school we want (her high SB-V got us accepted for early entrance) but were denied early entrance from the other classical school nearby since she does not currently meet 70-80% of Kindergarten benchmarks (only meets them in reading).
We still have to go through the Early Entrance process for our local school and we have an application in for a Spanish immersion program as well.
We aren't sure what to do. Keep her home another year and risk having her be bored next year (I won't stop teaching her at home!) or "settle" for a school. It's just kindergarten so is it really a big deal?
