Does Arlington have equivalent of FFX AAP or GT?

We're still a year out, but are already having discussions about public v parochial v private. We're zoned for a great school, but if Arlington redistricts or we decide to move, then we need to have time to plan for that, which is why we're thinking about these things earlier than we otherwise might.

p.s. Please don't flame me about my special snowflake. DC hasn't been formally tested but pediatrician and preschool teachers are all indicating that DC might lean towards the gifted category. I was myself, and DH is no dummy either, so we wouldn't be shocked, which again is why we're talking about these things.

not able to find anything on APS website should give you a hint that APS does not stress its GT services.

the only surefire tried and true way to meet your special snowflake's giftedness is to go private. or homeschooling.
