Talk to your campus GT specialist they can tell you exactly what services they provide for the students who are placed in the program as well as the days and time allotted. There should be a curriculum that they can show you or at least an outline. Ask if your son's teacher is GT certified, I know I had to take the coursework that was required by my district to keep me GT certified. If she is not, can he be moved to a teacher who is? Or at least go to a pullout with the specialist? My son is in 5th and in the GT program and they only do a once a week pullout for his grade level, it will not be until he is in 6th grade that the more challenging programs are available to him, he will go to a jr. high for GT kids, because of this we do a lot of at home enrichment.
Homeschooling is always an option if you think he would do well with it.
