I could post the same thing as NotSoGifted....to the extent that I wonder if we're in the same school district!
The one thing I would add in our experience is that even though the gifted offerings are not terrific in early years, my kids have a lot of peers. All three of our kids are in the elementary school gifted program, where requirement for entry is 130+ on WISC. (I have one MG, one HG and one EG.) There are approximately 10-15 kids per grade in that pull-out program. So even while the program is limited (2x week pull-out), they all have peers in their regular classroom and there is clear differentiation going on within each classroom.
