[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] District-wide, if those students were all in the system, it could be done. With a population the size of DC, you could probably have several entire schools for "gifted" based on top 5-10% and entire classrooms for "profoundly gifted" but it would surely meet resistance from people who want to insist that all children are equal.[/quote] Population of DCPS=43,800. Top 10% therefore is 4,380. That's 365 kids per grade for k-12. Such a school would immediately become the second largest middle school and high school in DCPS.[/quote]
