Also, call your local middle school about the Explore. Many kids take the Explore in 8th grade in either the fall or spring. They might be glad to have your gifted son�s score averaged into theirs. Aside from that, in many areas, schools are obligated to assist HS parents when requested. Even if they are not required to, the assistance is so minimal and it is simply �the right thing to do�. You certainly deserve the $7.50 favor return for your thousands in taxes.
