Thanks for the insight! I have been in Chicago suburbs for an year. My kid is right now in 3rd grade and is going to go into grade 4 in fall. His MAP score has always been 99% in Math. But I think the current school does not have a separate gifted program. I had heard great things about gifted education programs in the Chicago Public School system but at this point I can try to get him into 5th grade (since Dec 2012 was deadline for school session starting in Fall 2013).I think kids stand a good chance to get in to kindergarten when several students are admitted so his chances to get into grade 5 are pretty slim. Meanwhile could someone suggest a Chicago suburban school system that offers a challenging program? Also if you could suggest any challenging summer program, I would be obliged.
Thanks a million
