DS7 in 1st grade is in a public charter school. He just got tested WISC IV with a GAI of 146. We are going to do an achievement test in April. His current school may or may not work out for next year so we are looking around.

DS has about 6/7 grade reading level, math at least around 3rd grade. The public school in our area is supposed to be very good with high API. This can be our option, but we probably need to advocate for his education. This public school does not do subject acceleration, but they have ability grouping within the same classroom. The also have a gifted coordinator who oversees the GATE program (which doesn't start until 3rd grade) and provide materials for differentiation.

How is your experience dealing with public school for HG kids?
