[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The JKLM kids are bright but that is not the same as gifted. It's a different type of kid and DC public schools typically can not provide the teacher quality and peer group to support them. They go private or move when their parents discover they're not getting enough challenge or stimulation.[/quote] Or more likely, they move the burbs for magnets or TJ. There was a long discussion on DCUM a few months ago about how the privates aren't geared to the very brightest kids; privates maybe geared to the 90th or 95th pctiles (kids who might do well at JKLM), but they don't have the resources for the 99th pctiles.
