[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But now, after getting a series of these results, and spending too much time on DCUM, I'm starting to wonder a couple of things.  First, he's just going into K.  So I'm trying not to overanalyze things.  He's going into a good public school west of the park, where a great deal of kids seem to be advanced.  We all know DC doesn't have a gifted and talented program.  But we had planned to stay in DC, doing public school, for the duration.  Given his high scores, though,I wonder if at some point we're doing him a disservice.  Our plan thus far is to take it as it comes, and I am definitely keeping my eye on schools like Basis or Latin or others where there might be more differentiation.  We're really not in position to send to an elite private school - where I think a kid like him would excel.  I also have little desire to move to a county that has a gifted and talented program, like AAP or Montgomery County.  [b]But are we being short sighted?  [/b]

No. Stick with the plan of taking it as it comes.[/quote]
