We have a super high gifted student and their younger sibling aps put in the program at 3rd grade. I guess they assumed they would follow the older child. Until our youngest took cogat; and scores were average. Aps dropped them like a mask at a Trump rally.
They are still kind of bothered by being out of the program- but I could write a letter everyday to aps and it would not make a difference; nor should it IMO.

So, they put the kid in gifted them took them out? Was this recent? I was told once you’re in, you’re in.

Yes: they were officially removed and our child knew it as they were no longer pulled out with other kids.

Which school in APS still does pull out for gifted?

My daughter's elementary school still does pull outs with the gifted teacher. My daughter wasn't identified as gifted in 2nd, but is included in the pull out. She is advanced and appreciates the extra challenge. I think it's roughly every other week during math.

Our school pulls out, but doesn't make a big deal out of it. They don't call it gifted services to the kids either. Kids are clustered in groups of 5-8 per class and I was told about 10% of students are in these clusters.

We just got the notification email that DC was referred, but not in all subjects. (This is 1st grade).
