The link I posted was pre-pandemic, they have updated it to 2023. APS must be reading DCUM.

It had current data when I clicked on it when you first posted it. Did you select the correct year from the dropfodn?

No idea. I tried to find recent data, but I know my original link took me to 2019 data.

There is a drop down menu to select the year.

There was 23-24 data there when you posted it.

I am them. I'm not being difficult. Just dn't see it. I see SN and gifted but no 2E

Demographics, Summary Numbers.

So 8000 gifted, 4000 SWD, and 477 2e?

That's a lot of gifted kids for a 27,000 school district.

It is compared to many districts, but accounts to right under 30%, which is right in line with the 20-30% identified in a talent development model.

APS uses 120 as the cutoff score.

120 is not automatically a gifted identification. That is the number for a referral that is automatic (not initiated by parents or teachers). If there isn't any other supporting data, they can be denied eligibility.

Where are you finding the number or percentage of kids with IEPs and identified as gifted by school?

It’s like that town in the Garrison Keillor stories. Every kid in N Arlington is above average. 😀

Assuming giftedness maybe partly genetic, Arlington is a very wealthy, wonky town. Its so expensive only the very successful or the very poor can afford to live hear, so "normal" it is not.

per day or week, how much specialized instruction does your student get as a SWD or GT student?

my DD is neither, so she gets whatever is left over, and with such a huge population of both, I worry that being in the middle means you get a lot of independent study time.

My child is gifted and reads a lot independently at school. When they were younger they regularly read several books a day. The gifted label doesn't seem to make a difference beyond clustering, which would happen anyway. I guess if the label helps teachers cluster kids that is useful? I feel for the teachers because whatever they are pushing it is NOT apparent to most parents I talk with.

Scrolling through the budget the low FRL numbers really jumped out at some of the schools.
Jamestown (16), Tuckahoe (15), Nottingham (10), Discovery (22)
A handful of others have less than 100. A lot have around 200, and then there are the schools where everyone gets lunch for free (Title I, I believe, though the budget lists it as CEP).
