[quote=Anonymous] I've thought about this some more and I stand by my statement that Janney's population is about 75% kids who would be admitted to a traditional, suburban district's Gifted and Talented program (which would admit about the top 20% of the cross section of kids). They're very bright and very capable of working several grade levels ahead but not prodigies. Unfortunately the price of admission to this G&T program is the ability to afford to buy/rent a million dollar house in AU Park. Which is ALL sorts of wrong, I agree 100%. Unlike traditional school districts you can't test in, you must buy in to this peer group in DC. And for many if you can't afford (or chose not to) buy in, many Charter schools fulfill the same purpose of self-segregation by academic talent/ambition. [/quote]
