I attended QUEST one day a week in the fourth and fifth grades (early '80s) after testing for it in second grade. They also offered a full-time QUEST program. Everyone in the class thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to meet other "gifted" or high-achieving kids from the other schools in the district. We learned SO much from blood typing, to pig heart dissections to English/prose and creative writing and thinking. Though I opted not to continue it for sixth grade, the friendships I made at QUEST continued throughout humanites/honors courses in junior high and high school. I would highly encourage any parent of a high achiever to look into testing their child for QUEST if you live in that school district.
