I am just venting.
So we are still looking at houses...
DH called Option B's gifted coordinator. It didn't go well. Gems from this conversation included "There is no such thing as a gifted kindergartener" and "We never look at outside testing because parents can buy the scores they want"
I was lucky enough to connect with some moms of 2e students from Option A that warned me away from there.
We love the little private school he attends now but it isn't a long term option.
We are looking at a house today in a 2A district that does cluster grouping for gifted kids. I guess I will call it Option C. The one thing I can say with certainty about this option is that DS5 would love the after school programs there. They include an environmental club responsible for the school's garden, landscaping and stream, a strategic games club and Destination Imagination.
It is frustrating because I won't know if a school will "work" until we try it.
