[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't mean to be cynical but they are ALL academically advanced in downcounty MoCo. Unless your child is demonstrating prodigy traits (reading at a college level or doing trigonometry) I would send your child to their zoned MCPS school if it is overall a good school. There is a ton of differentiation, and kids' skills change by leaps and bounds during this period in any case. My child wasn't advanced coming into K, but 2 years later is considered very advanced in reading (but not math; some of his classmates do a year ahead for math.) There are gifted centers, but I'm pretty sure they start at 3rd grade in any case. But really, you'll be surprised, or maybe you won't be, that MoCo is not the land of the average - everyone is performing above grade level.[/quote]
