[quote=Anonymous]The GT testing is done because the state requires it. In practice it has no effect. GT screening is intended to catch overlooked talent. As our ES principal put it, “If I’m doing my job correctly, nothing should change academically because the teachers are already challenging your child at the level they need.” There’s so much transiency in and out of MCPS that by HS only about 50% of students in the most advanced classes have the designation. It’s not a factor for consideration for magnet programs. [/quote]
