My son, after being identified as Gifted and sent to the
local Gifted Program was, at his next school, put into the
"slow learner" class, known as the "dumb class" - he is
dyslexic.  I can promise you, it was not good for him
either.  :(

Then we sent him to a special (expensive) school for
Learning Disabled. He did well.

After two years, we put him into private school. He
graduated first in his class.

School is a crapshoot, IMHO.

Good luck with your child.
