Indeed, Kriston, you are sooooo right! I would put our mediocre school up against many of the on-paper best districts in the country for how our school has met our son's needs. I kept thinking something was going to happen to make us pull him out, but it hasn't and he is now happily settled in 7th grade with 10th grade math and a private bus to take him back from the high school. Not quite sure how it all fell together, just solving each problem as it came up.
Whether it works or not boils down to some combination of kid's personilty, school personality, good luck with teachers, and the values/priorities of the parents. There are too many variables to be able to say at 4 what will or won't work. No matter what the psych says, you don't need to panic yet (there will be plenty of opportunities in the future LOL).
