Thank you so much, Dottie - I have seen your very helpful responses to many "test questions" on this site, so I was glad to hear from you. I was somewhat wary of testing my daughter at age 4, but it's what this particular school required, and our pre-K teacher had suggested we look at it (it is a "gifted school" and the preschool teacher also has noticed her fairly advanced verbal skills + interest in things that are unusual for a kid her age). Our daughter spent a day at this gifted school and the kindergarten teacher and the admissions person both said they were not at all worried about the lower scores on performance/processing speed, and are telling me that they would actually be a very good fit because they are used to dealing with kids with this type of discrepancy, and give a lot of individual attention, differentiation, etc. I just worry that she will feel overwhelmed or even unable to keep up in this type of environment, where there are lots of kids who I bet have high scores in all of the areas. On the other hand, I don't know if the large classes in public schools would be great either. Maybe a small private school but not one specifically for "gifted/advanced" kids? Any advice?
