[quote=Anonymous]The web site of the National Association for Gifted Children can point you to many studies: https://www.nagc.org/resources-publications/gifted-education-practices/why-are-gifted-programs-needed I don't doubt that gifted students who attend excellent neighborhood schools all the way up do about the same in the long-run as students who were enrolled in GT programs. The problem is that without excellent neighborhood schools, the norm in urban centers, the most advanced students generally aren't served well. My own very bright kid has often been bored, particularly in ELA, for years at our JKLM. She's happy at the school, but if we didn't have access to true GT material via on-line courses and Johns Hopkins CTY in the summers, we'd have a real problem. We spend around 10K a year to supplement, much cheaper than 40K+ for Sidwell, NCS, GDS etc.[/quote]
