Wow, Dottie. You are quick!
We have not found kids at similar levels here locally. I'm sure there are some but none that we know of at this time. I would love for him to have friends who are at a similar level as him, but I don't know how else to find them.
Also, while we are in one of the top school systems in the state, they don't seem to have much experience with young gifted kids. They do have gifted services, pull out starting in 3rd grade. They say that they've never done anything for any child younger, but we plan to hold them to the law. And so far, they have been willing to work through the process. We would pursue another school environment for him, but we are stuck by his medical needs. He requires a full time nurse to be in the building at all times, and the state requires that nurse to be an RN. We just won't find this type of accomodation in a private school.
I appreciate your time very much!
