[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With respect, I would correct your assumption that it’s odd there aren’t more schools for the gifted in this educated area. The reason for this is actually that there are highly gifted students at very many of the public and private schools in the area. In fact in some particularly well-off areas, the majority of students at the elementary level test “gifted.” You may be surprised to find that your child has peers at most reasonably good schools in the area. For reference, I had one son go through MCPS elementary “highly gifted center” and middle and high school magnet. [/quote] +1 A lot of people with 99.9 percentile testers don’t want a gifted program. My kid like that has been very happy in his independent school. Academic performance doesn’t necessarily match iq—particularly iq measured at 5yo which is notoriously inaccurate. That said, I think OP is looking for something like Nysmith. [/quote]
