I agree with Indigo. Unless the GT program is an excellent fit, it probably won't be worth the commuting. I'd rather spend that time with my kids and do all kinds of learning on our own. Can you get in touch with parents at both schools and get some ideas on how things have been going with their kids? I found that, most of the time, parents (those who are really involved) give the most accurate account of how things really are at a school.
