I think the big question I would ask is how many of their teachers are gifted certified in K-3.
This is only of partial use. The most woefully inept teachers we've had the misfortune to encounter were three gifted-certified teachers at our local middle school magnet program. They had the certifications, but that didn't mean they had internalized the information, especially when dealing with Miss PG-and-2E.
Conversely, the teacher who was most adept at handling bright kids was an elementary teacher with no particular certifications-- but 37 years' experience. She was pretty hard to rattle.
