Kimck - We don't have many good private choices in our area either. I do know that on average 38% of students (5th graders?) at this Friends school score high enough on the ERB to be considered for the John Hopkins gifted summer program. And my neighbor's kids both gifted (one profoundly) did very well there. She also had problems with ps and the kids there calling her son weird.
On our children being called weird - don't ya just wanna say - "don't worry son someday he'll work for you". OR "she'll wish she could find someone like you to marry her". Ah, but we must restrain ourselves. ;-)
