Hi Grinity,
Thank you so much for your advice! I hadn't thought about how each school may 'see' my son. I am touring the HG school today and will keep your advice in mind as we tour and visit the classrooms.
The affordable school goes up to 5th grade - your point is well taken and needs to be considered as we make our decision. As for skipping a grade now, well LAUSD isn't too flexible, but I can talk with the principal to advocate for my DS. The affordable school will take him tomorrow ~ they are wonderful. They also have a history of working with HG kids (I spoke to a mom there whose son is loving it!), so I know they have experience.
I so appreciate your advice; I can't say enough about how nice it feels to have support here when needed. I've been a lurker for a while, my first time posting... thank you!
