My son in not especially gifted or talented - but has done very well since an unintentional 3 months homeschooling. He's Y1, started reading chapter books & really working well at the online maths tutor - about 18 months ahead of age expectation - improved rapidly at things like chess & piano since he's had more time to practice. In general - after a daunting start - we're finding our HE stride academically & socially.
A school place has come up - perfectly nice average school - albeit logistically still quite hard to facilitate for various reasons.
But having watched him focus & work self directed - I'm wondering if going to school won't actually have the effect of capping him. ...
...But we never really intended to homeschool longterm - and he says he'd prefer to be at school .... Though even six months ago when he was at school he was complaining about being best at sums, so possibly he's got rose-tinted glasses.
