I live in the tri-state area, specifically Northern Westchester county and there is nothing here for gifted education. I noticed on the Genius Denied website there is a map of what states are "giftedness friendly" and New York state seems to be only one of about 4 that does not mandate or fund gifted education which I think is terrible. Everything seems to be in NYC. I just today spoke w/ the principal of my son's elementary school (he's5 yrs old, in Kindergarten) about the result of his reading assessment that I pressured them to do and she said he got to level 30 out of 44 levels and level 44 corresponds to a 3rd grade level. I think they might offer to pull him out to work with a reading teacher and I also asked about math since he can do more than what I think they offer in kindergarten. I guess it will all have to be piecemeal
