Should gifted students go to a separate school?

"gifted track" is rarely a set program. It's usually a mechanism for providing individually paced opportunities and resources [edit: added this phrase] _at a different/specific school_.

Where I live, you get tested whenever your parents want you to be tested, and if they pass the advanced learning at the point, they can choose to elect for the 'advanced school(s)'.

...which doesn't apply when the "track" is a set program at a different school.

Edited to clarify that I mean for my description to be understood to occur at a 'gifted school'.
