Thanks so much Grinity. Unfortunately, we have no family anywhere nearby. That is one of my issues with living here & would love to move when oldest DD graduates HS. However, until then, we are on our own.

That's a good idea to visit. I wasn't sure if that was the norm, I've never shopped for a school before but it makes sense. DS is 4th grade and I feel like he's not showing that interest in learning like he was before. He does mention looking forward to being out of school so he can start being a biologist.

I'd be willing to work nights & teach in the day if it means he can get what he needs & be excited about learning, kwim? Realistically, not our best solution but we'll see.

After posting my original message, I stumbled across a support group for gifted in the neighboring district. I contacted her & they are active. Very excited because I don't have anyone IRL to talk to about these issues. Hoping someone there has been to one of these places!
