[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were younger MCPS provided no formal acceleration in the early grades. I don’t think that’s changed. My own kids didn’t need it as they weren’t advanced but we were at a high performing school and it was a common complaint from other parents. You might be happier with a private school. However, the way you describe your child doesn’t sound that advanced for the peer group at our old ES. It could be that your child will have a peer group even without acceleration depending on the school.[/quote] Yes, this is a good point, lots of kids come into kindergarten reading and doing the equivalent of 1st or 2nd grade math, because many kids can grasp those things at 4 or 5 if taught. Not uncommon and also not a sign that the kid will remain "2 grades ahead" as they progress through school.[/quote]
