If there were a broad range of schools available vying for the opportunity to meet the educational needs of gifted kids, the world would be a better place. Unfortunately many gifted kids do not find that a school in which they are placed will continue to meet their needs throughout middle school and high school. On the forums, it is often mentioned that the ideal "best-fit" may not exist... one may need to look for the "least-worst" fit.

That said, the Davidson Institute for Talent Development (DITD), which provides this forum, offers other services including:
- Davidson Young Scholars (DYS), program including consultation
- Davidson Academy (in Reno, Nevada)
- Davidson Academy Online Campus
