Thanks for the commiseration, everyone. (And, hugs back at you, Madoosa!)
It's just...shocking, really. This school I referenced has its origins in a mass exodus of gifted teachers, coordinators, and a principal from the shrinking local public gifted system. The administrators and parents were so frustrated at the lack of support offered to gifted students under the public umbrella that they created a private alternative. Now, here I am, working at creating an alternative to the alternative because it's only serviceable for a limited subset of the gifted.
At least I know I have a strong value proposition with a fully ability-linked class model by subject. HK, if you're reading this, it's your classic case of border collies v. cheetahs.
