We are relocating and deciding between 2 public schools.  Private is not an option.  One offers a formal gifted program.  The other does not.  Can anyone offer insight as to how to approach the schools with private testing reports and have a discussion on 
1) for the school with formal program, how to get kiddos considered for/into the gifted ed for the one school
2) (having difficulty phrasing this question) - for the school without formal program, how does it work with similarly situated students: differentiation, etc.?
Also, do schools place more emphasis on transferring student record or the current private testing that addresses the underperformance?  
Thank you
