[quote=Anonymous]Some schools are not actually doing a separate class for ELC. They are just putting everyone in ELC and the schools that are doing that haven’t been able to do the full program.  That’s because some kids don’t want to do the extra work so the whole class cannot.  Find out if that’s the case at your school before you decide. But people often turn down Center seats.  You know your kid best.  Lots of families decide it’s not worth the extra work in elementary school especially if their child has a lot of extracurriculars. You will know if your kid needs it or not - mostly because they seem bored at school or are acting out when you know they are super bright.  The Center was originally intended to be a safe haven for academically gifted kids who felt like outliers at their schools, who benefit from having peers and teachers who get their natural curiosity and interest in learning.  It’s a terrific program and for the kids who really need that challenge and environment and the peers, it’s terrific. If your child is thriving at their home school both socially and academically, probably no need to change things up.  It’s a big social shift for two years and then to go back to their home school.  Being in a Center or not doesn’t affect your chances of getting into a middle school magnet so there may be another opportunity later if she feels ready to make a move.[/quote]
