Thank you for your reply Dottie and Grinity!
I will definitely check out the ACT. Dottie- I guess I would be okay with either one. I don't think they offer acceleration within the grade where you would cover more material than average. That would be ideal, but I'm not certain if that's available. I wrote an email to both the 'gifted resource' person and the principal asking for a meeting but no response... We are looking for a house and really have heard great things about this school but not in terms of how they deal with gifted children who need more of a challege. It makes me sad that I haven't done anything up till now...I just buy him tons of books and tape NOVA Science type shows and talk to him a lot.
I would love to have him apply for the DYS Program...do you have any recommendations on which of the list of tests in the first category is the most accurate/dependable?
Thanks!!
