[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the criteria at MCPS HGC?  I'm not from MC but was impressed by what I saw at Feynman. What I saw was kids working a couple grade levels ahead, don't know how that compares. IQ range on private school tests is probably about 130++. [/quote]

I observed a Feynman class last year.  The kids struck me as especially advanced with respect to scientific reasoning, problem solving, understanding physical mechanics and the like.  They might have had a range when it comes to language issues  or social thinking or the arts but they generally seemed quite strong on the scientific side.  My sense was that this is really a function of where your kid's strengths and interests are.  If you had a child who was really advanced in the arts but not especially so in the sciences, they might struggle to keep up and not be stimulated where they want to be.  But if you had a child who really liked figuring out how physical concepts work and how things fit together mechanically and scientifically, it could be a dream.  [/quote]
