[quote=Anonymous]My kids are older, but I believe that the gifted centers are populated by kids who test in. There are not enough spots for the # of kids who have high scores, so they waitlist a bunch of kids & compare your kid's scores to their peers (e.g. if you have a ton of high performing peers you won't be considered an outlier & your kid won't be going to a gifted center). Also, living in bounds does NOT guarantee attendance at the gifted center.

With regard to ES, some will say that the MCPS curriculum is the same across the county & schools are all the same. Totally not our experience. I don't know what you should do during pandemic bz I found it super useful to visit schools & audit classes/listen to principals.

Watch out for split articulation schools in ES like the above poster flagged. BCC feeder Rosemary Hills problematic in this way.

Don't know Blair feeder schools but you are absolutely right to backwards map from where you want your kid to go to HS. Your kids will make friends & you won't want to move them.[/quote]
