[quote=Anonymous]When Mr. G was principal at Piney, they incorporated some of the HGC projects into the curriculum. I believe it was a way to keep some of the HGC families at the school vs. having so many kids leave for Pine Crest/Oak View. We have a child who stayed at the school and had a fantastic experience; though I will say that his friends who went to the HGC did get more projects overall and had higher responsibility expectations. Math at the time seemed slightly stronger at Piney. When current 4th grader got into HGC, we chose to leave Piney for HGC. New principal (who is great in many ways) made no effort to encourage HGC families to stay. I got the sense that they wouldn't be keeping Mr. G's program in place, especially since there was no push to tell us how the school would serve these children. It was a huge difference in a time frame of 2 years.[/quote]
