Is a mediocre school ok or should I be looking for a school that says 40% of its students are GT? Somehow, to me, that seems pretty close to "all our kids are gifted" which generally means no learning at all for my kids.
This was our experience. And a whole lot of vanilla GT kids who were GT only in either math or verbal didn't really cut it for us. If that 40% indicates lots of MG-HG kids and even a sprinkling of EG & PG kids, then it could work quite nicely.
I still think the most important thing about a school is that they have the ability to recognize LOGs, however they come to that--whether because they're a GT school that specializes in GT, or because they're a "mediocre" school that can see that your child is truly different from most/all their other kids, or some other way. If the school recognizes LOGS, the staff is probably going to understand your child, and that's key. You all speak the same language, which gets everyone off on the right foot.
