ps - fwiw, most schools will have at least a few MG kids per grade...
Not sure how accurate this is, but here's a list of prevalence by IQ, using both the Wechsler and Stanford Binet scales. It's interesting to look at, anyway
http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/iqtable.aspxThanks for the link! Seeing the numbers made me realize that it's no wonder how great I felt in grades 5-8 in a Math / Science middle school when they put together a class of about 26 kids from some 3000 (from 24 elementary schools) in that grade level. Aside from about 5 kids who were true high achievers the rest of us most likely really were 99+% (we took IQ tests twice in those years I think and pretty much all of us scored between 135-150)
As for the original question ... I've always said the main goal for us is for our boys to be HAPPY. If that means being in regular classes and exploring their interests outside of school, or if that means at some point accelerating or asking for more work, we will leave it up to them (unless we see them slacking of course:))
