[quote=Anonymous]We can only speak from our own experience, but given that DC has consistently performed above grade level and scored advanced on the DC-CAS, yes, we think DC is academically advanced.  I don't know how the suburban schools identify gifted and talented kids, but children who score advanced on the DC-CAS in 5th grade are invited to apply for the Johns Hopkins talent search for gifted kids, so I assume (without having any particularly good information that would support the assumption) that's the same population who would be identified as gifted in a suburban school district.  And yes, as I said in the prior posting, we've been very happy with the degree of challenge so far.  There also seem to be a fair number of individual projects, which allows for kids to work at a more advanced level.  And, although I didn't mention it, the extracurriculars are great.  Our DC has really enjoyed doing some completely new activities, sports, etc.  From our perspective, with a strong student and extremely demanding expectations for schools, it's been a total success.[/quote]
