[quote=Anonymous]MCPS identification/testing

2nd grade:  all students tested for GT label-- used to make some suggestions for enrichment the following year in math and reading- some schools follow, some seem to ignore

3rd grade:  students are invited to test for Centers for Enriched studies based on how they are doing, report cards, MAP..  Then those who are tested are considered for Centers for Enriched Studies.  Some schools also have an Enriched Literacy Curriculum.  Both begin in 4th grade.  Compacted math is a separate math program and I think is available in every elementary school.

5th  grade:  same process as third but consideration is the Math, Science, Computer Science magnet or the humanities magnet which begin in 6th grade.

There are also honors courses available in middle schools and the choice programs in the DCC.

In 9th grade students currently apply for the different high school magnets.  Who knows if this will change to be more like the CES and middle school in the future.   There are also signature programs,  IB options and college partnerships at some schools. AP options exist at all high schools, but some have more classes offered than others.

Investing, although students are tested and labeled as GT in second grade, none of the other options above require a student to have the label to participate.  [/quote]
