[quote=Anonymous]As everyone has said, in elementary school in MCPS there is no gifted program or acceleration before 4th grade. In 4th/5th, the gifted program is through the centers and there is a compacted math program in-school. In general, mcps is academically rigorous - the private schools generally have the same standards/progression as mcps. If you truly feel that you have gifted children, above what the basic school system or a typical private can support, then consider a private like Feynman or Nysmith. If not, a child attending an mcps school won't be at a disadvantage applying to a private later. The biggest problem with the desired "w" schools right now is over-crowding - class sizes are big. Smart kids, decent program despite the bumps with 2.0, but large classes.[/quote]
