[quote=Anonymous]OP, there's a simpler explanation than race, class, etc. DC is just plain small. Something like less than a third of the kids in MoCo. Highly gifted or extremely talented kids are pretty rare in any population. So no matter we think as parents or the DC CAS shows in tests, there just aren't enough G&T kids with similar skills in K-8 to create any type of sustainable, scaleable options as well as support the IEPs and 504s as mandated by law. It's a numbers game of SPED vs general ed. (Flawed numbers at that.) If your child is off the charts gifted (with test results to prove it), contact Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. cty.jhu.edu and private schools to expand the options for your child beyond public and public charter options in the District.
