What books are availible in the classroom? Would it start to feel like your DD is in the 'non-gifted' track at her old school?
I'd need to look into that further, but honestly the literacy end of this has me as worried as math b/c reading is the one area where dd has had a really good education for the past two years with a teacher who is very bright herself. Her confidence in that area is pretty intact even if she doesn't love to read.
The book reports I saw on the walls were on Diary of a Wimpy Kid and similar books but that's all I know.
If your main concern is getting her to high school with more of a sense of who she is and liking it - this school sounds good.
If your main concern is getting a good education, maybe keep her where she is with the high achievers and a tutor (really, it's worth a try!) and a trial of meds. I've heard that about Stimulents being better for Hyperactive and not so good for paying attention, but that isn't our personal experience.
Can't I have them both -- lol!?
Thank you both for your thoughts. We're going to open houses for the other two closer higher achieving schools next week so we'll see what we think after that as well.
