[quote=Anonymous]My twice exceptional kid was in the GT/LD program of MCPS for middle and high school: gifted, talented and learning disabled. You need an IEP (or sometimes a 504) and an IQ (or at least GAI) above a certain threshold. Since the programs were housed in the next cluster, he was eligible for a special bus.

In practice, it meant being able to access any class at North Bethesda MS and Walter Johnson HS. At the middle school level, the classes were co-taught, and there was a dedicated resource class just for the GT/LD kids. We loved his time there. The high school GT/LD also offered a resource class, but AP classes were not co-taught - MCPS cannot staff all the available courses of high school.

This may not be the right choice if your child is bored to tears with the "regular" non-magnet advanced curriculum. It was enough of a challenge for my son, though. He graduated witha high GPA and a dozen AP classes.

Please look at this and inquire:
