[quote=Anonymous]We moved to MCPS too late for my DC to participate in testing, so no chance at CES. They’ve always been a 99th %ile kid on standardized tests, but might not have gotten into CES, based on what I’ve read here. They are in above grade level groups for reading and math in the regular classroom. The weird thing to me is how DC talks about the CES classes/kids, as if they’re this entire other species, when in fact they’re probably not *too* different from DC academically. Not sure where this is coming from - the teachers, the other kids, the structure of the school? Clearly, the CES kids are not integrated with the other kids in the way the school likes to say they are. I don’t know if that’s good, bad, or neutral, but my DC has mentioned several times that they would turn down a magnet placement if offered for MS because they don’t want to be with “those kids.”[/quote]
