Often it's the "good" schools that are really lousy for HG+ kids, since their attitude tends to be "We're good at this, and all our kids are extra bright. Why should we give your child a thing?"
This has been repeated on this board several times but I'm not sure I've seen any proof of it. There are those of us on this board with kids in gifted schools that are just as happy as others with kids in lower ranked schools (for lack of a better descriptive word)
I think, CFK, that Kriston is not talking about schools designed as gifted school, but regular neighborhood schools that serve an educated neighborhood and have a significant number of bright and MG kids. Certainly some of those have been good too. But I think sometimes it is more likely for the needs of a HG kid to get lost in a school where the kids tend to be "above average".
And both of us were primarily tryng to make the point that just because a school does or doesn't look good on paper is not enough to make a decision on. What matters is what the school does, not how it ranks.
