[quote=Anonymous]The LCPS GT program seems to be a gifted program in name only. While entry in 3rd grade is supposedly based on CogAT/NNAT scores, about half of the students are added through teacher nominations, primarily to meet diversity goals. The once-a-week GT class, which claims to focus on leadership and innovation, lacks any measurable outcomes—there are no assessments or no grades to track student learning. In fact, some students in the program struggle with reading and math in middle school. I’m considering whether my rising 8th grader's time would be better spent elsewhere next academic year rather than continuing in this program. [/quote]
