[quote=Anonymous]I agree you might as well apply and see what happens-- a 3rd grade teacher recc. is certainly helpful but doesn't guarantee admission. But a couple points-- the HGC centers don't "feed" to any middle school-- the program ends in 5th grade. Some kids might choose to apply to an application-based magnet middle school (such as TP) but that is an entirely separate process and many HGC kids just return to their home middle school. Also, the HGC is all about projects, so it sounds like a good match for her. I have no idea what will happen with 2.0 but my sense if there is any flexibility, the HGCs will find it/benefit from it. In addition, some families really like having a peer group of kids at a similar level (although HGC kids certainly can have behavioral issues like other kids).[/quote]
