[quote=Anonymous]OP: We were in similar situation. Some people opt for immersion. We chose home school and then applied for and got into Takoma Park primary magnet program. Home school grade K was a disaster. TPES has been a lifesaver in having a solid peer group. Schools are really hit and miss in down county. If you're at a Title 1 school, GT kids can get what they need b/c school has more resources. At other schools, the GT kids simply don't get what they need. If we didn't get into TPES, we would have had to seriously consider either moving or going private. HGC is grades 4-5. Know lots of kids in there as well as kids who got in and chose to stay at home schools. It's all child-dependent and you can't predict how your child would feel about switching schools until you get there. I have a child who got in and refused to go and is quite happy at home school.[/quote]
