Help! Looking for school districts with a good "Gifted" program....daughter just ID'ed!

I know this is an old thread, but anyone have updated info on self contained gifted classrooms for my elementary age child? I would be willing to move within westchester or long island. Our school has a pull out program a couple of times a week. I don't love that model. Our restriction is that we need to be up to a 50ish minute train ride to NYC. Closer is better.

Hofstra University used to have enrichment classes on Saturdays for gifted kids

I do not believe there are any self-contained classes in a public school for the gifted. Your only recourse would be the private Hungtington School for the Gifted. There are enrichement classes at several places on Long Island, but I don't think that is what you were looking for. If you live in NYC, there's the Hunter College schools for kids and you could also look into the summer program through John Hopkins, which are excellent.

My son was in self-contained G & T classes in Three Village for elementary and Harborfields for Junior and Senior High School. Now, more than thirty years later , he says he would have rather been with regular kids and that he disliked the gifted classes and that the kids in those classes were sort of made into outsiders . Soooo, you can't win.
