If your child is "gifted", he needs to be in a private school or an environment where he is encouraged and supported. I would not recommend public school to anyone. Except those living in high tax areas that have more $$ and parents supporting the necessary extra programs and short coming of the public funding with their own $$. Districts like Greenwich, CT for example. Or the public school 32 in Tribeca, NY. From what I've seen, public schools don't seem to have the teachers, supplies or facilities to give the proper attention to gifted children. I'm glad my mom won't see this, she works for the Bd. of Ed. and this is our ongoing argument. Most of my friends send thier kids to private school, but I'm in NY and you all know what that's like. Maybe in Colorado, in some wealthier areas where one parent might the have time to get more actively involved in the school and support it from a grass roots level, your kid could get a good education since schools only reflect the community they serve.

Good Luck
