Hello,
My first grader son was recently evaluated at 4th to 6th grade level academically by the Dept of Education in NYC. He is currently in a Blue Ribbon Award Catholic school which does not want to do anything special for him. We live in NJ, so the G&T programs in NYC do not apply to us and local ones are not good enough. What should we do next? We cannot currently afford more that catholic private education, but we are desperate to place our son in the right environment for him. He reads college level science books, philosophy books, anatomy, math, history - nothing can stop him when he self-studies. But the school is stopping him from maximizing his potential. We have not formally tested his IQ, but he does adult free online IQ tests in a breeze and usually gets around 145-148. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
