[quote=Anonymous]I agree with previous posters that gt programs at aps have been a victim of covid.  Prior to covid, there was distinct differentiation.  Gifted kids and highly able kids were grouped together and they received more challenging work.  The challenging work were things like extra book study (reading a middle school/high school level novels in fourth grade in addition to the other reading done with the rest of the class for my older daughter), math riddles and extra math practice which was sent home as homework, and extra projects for science/social studies.  That’s all gone now though.  There may be differentiation but it’s not like how it was before— they are focusing on just catching up from covid.  I’m not sure when they will feel like they caught up or if there will be a return for gt services, but right now there is nothing.

Even before covid, there was no gt differentiation after elementary school.  All advanced classes other than middle school math are self selecting— the child/parent decides to take them.
