Just have to share our good experience ...
We met with the school principal and middle school math specialist this afternoon. We are requesting the same math and science accommodation for our DS10 (currently in 5th) in next school year.
In short, the principal agreed that they would deal with the scheduling issue to make that happen. Whole grade acceleration is an option, too, if that is what our son needs and what we want. He also talks about figuring out a more individualized accommodation in science in the second half of next year.
How lucky are we? We don't have a gifted program in our school, but our principal is surely trying his best to accommodate the gifted kids in a very real and meaningful way.
