What about Fairfax or Arlington GT programs? Are they better than the MoCo GT programs?

They've done a terrific job with our 99% child, but that's strictly because the principal gets GT and is really driven to meet every child at their level and move them to the next one. It's her personal mission, but there is no support from DCPS in general for GT. . . .

Which school? (I don't want to "out" anyone, but this sounds like a school that is currently off my radar screen and should be on it!) Many thanks in advance.
