Hi, I was searching the board for any info on West Virginia and I'm not coming up with much. My husband has finally got a job offer and may accept in Charleston WV. I am less than thrilled with the idea.
Our children are perfectly set in a full time gifted magnet currently. It's working really well for them. They do want to get back East but I am afraid of the disruption in schooling.
WV's policies seem like there will be so many hoops to jump through. For instance, we've had them privately tested but WV will not accept this testing. They will do their own. I'm stressed, what if they do not qualify for some strange reason....you know testing can vary with so many factors.
Anyone have any experience to share on this state. We do not have the finances to send all 4 to private.
We have found the "best" elem in the county and they do pull the kids each day for some GT. Otherwise, they do not accelerate, etc. The testing scores for the school are much higher than most in the area.
I fought for a few years before finding their current school, I don't know if I'm up for another fight. Especially in a state that seems so rigid.
Thanks
