[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had a good experience as well.  I think the principal is ok, not great, but we've had great experiences with the teachers.  I don't think there really is such a thing as "HGC math" but I think in the past they have accelerated kids at least 2 years ahead in math.

When I see complaints about CCES, they seem to be things that would be the same or worse at any MoCo school.  I really would not expect my  public elementary school to teach kids that questioning authority is more important than respecting adults.[/quote]

Yes, it's those kids from the regular track who get accelerated 2 years in 5th grade whom I'm referring to as being included in "HGC math", because the bulk of the other kids 2 years ahead seemed to be the HGC kids.  The regular track kids who are two years ahead in 5th grade are combined with the HGC kids who are also 2 years ahead.  By then some of the HGC kids who started out 2 years ahead have accelerated to 3 years ahead and some HGC kids are still only 1 year ahead in math.  There's no HGC math in the sense that the math in the HGC is pretty much the same as the regular curriculum but may be 2 years compacted into one or 3 years ahead (which is more than the normal acceleration available at most home schools).
