[quote=Anonymous]1/3 of the class doesn't join in 6th. They take approx 30 in K. A few leave for Hunter after 6 and a few add. The amount of people who are so uncomfortable with a school for gifted kids is just funny. Gifted kids brains work differently. Not 2E. Giftedness on its own is a neurodiversity. They do a 2 hour assessment that's their own modified testing (that pulls from WPPSI, SB etc. From what I gather). Why are they great? They have a 6:1 student/teacher ratio. The kids take chess, debate, Spanish, dance, maker lab, and art in addition to the regular stuff as core classes. They have 0 ceiling to their differentiation so wherever kids go to they can accommodate. I hear some years they have 8th graders taking Calc. Their 7th graders trade real stocks. I know Kindergarten tackles the Odyssey.... They do a ton of SEL and Executive functioning stuff because the gifted kids need it. Highly recommend. Their exmissions are awesome because they are a good school. [/quote]
