I agree with Kriston. Blue Ribbon schools does not mean that it is a good school for GT kids. Teacher makes everything works (or not works). DS7 had a very good teacher in KG. She loved GT kids and loved to challenge him. However, he had a bad teacher in Gr 1. She did not like GT kids. She really just wanted him to "go away". Teachers matter a whole lot in school.
After this experience, I decided to homeschool, partly because of his WISC IV score and the recommendation of psychologist who administered the test, partly because I cannot control who is his teacher and who will be his teacher next year.
We had a thread about Montessori schools for GT a few months back. It was a good thread. You might want to read it.
I always keep my ears open about new schools in the area. I have also found information in the local Yahoo group when new schools pop up.
