Thanks, Martie, for your response.
I'm sure they would not think she has a negative educational impact even if she were in their school. In her current school, they don't identify "gifted" but they do try to challenge everyone at their own level. The current school has a lot of dyslexic children so they are used to providing "Special Education" to everyone.
If she goes to that school and doesn't qualify for the gifted program, she will have to do the same math that she's doing this year (with an A) again. That's enough of a negative impact for me, but I doubt it really qualifies.
We will just go ahead and plan as though she will go to private school next year and if she gets in to the program this summer, then decide what to do. I was just hoping to simplify the middle school application process.
Thanks for your help.
