At the high school level, it was as possible to offer a larger variety of class levels but my son was mostly engaged and pushed. In math, he was allowed to work ahead and work on special problems. - Feb 2015


Yes - our child attended a gifted and talented class. I never saw much evidence of what happened in the class so I can't attest to what type of instruction he received. - Jan 2015


Yes.AP courses.She is on her own for additional stimulation.The school has no idea she is "gifted" (despite paperwork submitted from previous school and various test scores -- which I have to presume, based on various conversations, never made it from admissions to HS counseling to informing teachers).I figured it would come out on its own (some individual teachers have remarked on it) but in terms of providing additional challenge or support, zip.As well, if your student is entering mid-high-school, if you don't holler about how bright s/he is, s/he will lose at least one year of academic material by being put in whatever classes are available & need to be filled (if our experience is anything to go by). - May 2012
