He and my daughter are the only two gifted children in their elementary school (out of 450 kids). It's definitely what I would a low achieving area. The teacher has him in the advanced reading group but she says that is too easy for him. He doesn't even do they math homework anymore. He does do a computer based math prgram for enrichment a few times a week.
He has been tested using the wisc-IV and WJ-III and scored very well. The school is very anti- gifted. I had to fight to get my daughter identified several years ago.
I'm concerned right now that they are going to use his low writng score to say he doesn't need any changes.
