[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had very good luck in HoCo for an older child fitting a similar profile. MoCo offera a great STEM countywide magnet program, but it requires a combination of scores + geographical location (recent add-on) to attend. They have started to actively avoid kids who would otherwise attend middle schools with high-scoring peers. These tend to be middle school nestled along hwy 270. Regular ES do not, I believe, offer any accommodation since their mission is not to enrich the top students, but to pull up the middle/rear towards meeting the state standard.[/quote] The only thing regular ES has in this is compacted math. To OP, compacted math is a more advanced math track that starts in 4th grade. It puts the student on track to take Algebra in 7th, and Calc AB in 11th grade. If your DC is super duper smart in math, they may let him advance even a bit more.[/quote]
