I see from the archives that there is a GT/LD MCPS middle school which has disappointed parents, although it might not have been North Bethesda.
If anyone has a child in the North Bethesda GT/LD program, recently had a child there, or looked into it at all, I would greatly appreciate your insight.
We are in the process of having our child evaluated, so I have not contacted the GT/LD coordinator yet, but it's on my to-do list. 
Basically, I suspect my child is in that gray zone where he may not be GT enough, or LD enough, to warrant a GT/LD placement. 
However I am extremely concerned that his home middle school will not recognize his talents, provide adequate differentiation or foster his curiosity, since this has been an ongoing problem in elementary school. I'm less worried about the accommodations because his IEP is pretty solid (of course it depends how they implement it in middle school). Teachers only see the special needs label, and don't realize he also needs acceleration in reading and writing.

Thank you!
