[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools might be better equipped to differentiate for your child. They have smaller class sizes and more resources. DCPS will do absolutely nothing for your child. [/quote] They won't differentiate but the baseline standard will be much higher at the top privates. My kids are not profoundly gifted but I would say they maxed out the DCPS curriculum (Algebra 2 in 8th, 99% PARCC scores, each subject every time they were tested 3rd through 8th, 98-99% in all subjects in middle school. They went on to a "Big3" high schools (Sidwell, NCS) and they were/are probably at the 85% in their respective classes in terms of academic ability. These schools draw from all over the DMV (far and wide) and get some real academic outliers. Profoundly gifted? No; but a decent peer cohort of impressively bright and motivated kids. [/quote]
