I was in "GIFTED" in elementary and middle school.

The elementary school one was amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone.

The middle school one was mediocre at best. I liked it, but it wasn't actually any better than regular classes.

So it can vary pretty wildly, even in the same school system.

Agreed and can vary even on teachers in the program.

But I've never heard of it being worse than regular school, worst case, you're with other gifted kids.
