[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A poster on another thread said: "Arlington/fairfax school have capacity to accelerate 10% of its student body to magnets or G&T. MoCo can only help 1% of its top students. " I found that interesting (although don't know if it's true). True? If so, thoughts on whey this is since I would imagine other aspects of the systems between Fairfax and MoCo are likely pretty similar in terms of teacher count, overall spending, etc. [/quote] I think it's just a decision by the school system as to who they will pull out of the regular curriculum vs trying to accomodate within the home school. FWIW I think that's probably a bit of an underestimate for MoCo-- I don't have the numbers handy but I'd guess it's closer to 5% at least for the grades 4-5 program, not sure about MS/HS (but it sounds as though the poster was thinking of ES?)[/quote]
