Hello,

We are in talks to move to the Phoenix area later this year or possibly early 2017. I have a 13yo in a gifted program now. Has anyone had any dealings with the ACP? I would like to keep him in the same school until graduation so am looking at ACP as a possible placement. Any information on the school would be welcome.

I have looked at greatschools.org but am never sure where the reviews come from.

Also check out BASIS schools. My kids are there and getting a fantastic education. One of them is starting at ASU's Honor College next year and was able to eliminate almost a year's worth of classes due to all of the AP classes they took.

I haven't but I am familiar with the Herberger Academy at ASU, which is fantastic and has a top notch gifted program: The Academy | Herberger Academy

I don't know if this school has a gifted program but ASU Preparatory Academy (also affiliated with ASU) is a top performing school if you look at the Polytechnic campus, which is located on the ASU Campus in East Mesa - https://asuprep.asu.edu/

Grmi66 when I first started researching schools BASIS did stand out, truth be told I'm a little worried about the constant comments on the amount of homework. That is not how my son processes information so if the rumours are true he would not fit in well. Thanks SageCats I will check out the ASU programs. I think once I narrow down the field I will also contact the schools and speak with them for more information.
