[quote=Anonymous]All of this is in flux, OP. Nominally, county-wide GT programs start in 3rd grade based on testing that happens in 2nd. However, there is no real differentiation or acceleration in 3rd. So your kid may get the GT label but no services. THEN, in 3rd grade they take a test for placement for 4th and 5th grades. Ostensibly the top 3-5% of kids will attend centers for enriched studies, where they are in contained classrooms with other gifted kids. In practice....they have made the process less clear in the past year and no one really knows what scores will qualify a child, or what is considered. THEN, there are tests for magnet middle schools and magnet high schools. [/quote]
