Hi Grinity, thanks for responding. He's an A student and loves his GATE program but we are applying for a full-time gifted public school program for next year and it's pretty difficult to get into. Grade equivalancies on the MAP were Math-post 12th grade, English-mid 10th grade. He makes friends easily but prefers a few close friends. He is small for his age and loves ski racing, recently placing in the top 30 for his age group in the far western US. I guess like a lot of other parents we don't want to miss any oppertunities for him!
