[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There is no gifted program in DC. I'm not OP. She's just trying to get some info. Like in DC, you can enter a lottery without being a resident, but to enroll, you have to show proof of residency. She is probably wondering what the process is in the burbs. [/quote]

This. And wondering if I can find out if our daughter qualifies, and THEN move. We rent and are looking to buy somewhere, so we're in a position to do this. Like I said, I'm not unhappy with our DC options, but a combination of real estate and a desire for a smaller school (maybe the gifted schools in MD aren't smaller? I'm getting that impression) is driving my question. [/quote]

In MD, the highly gifted centers require both the standardized tests and some recommendations from teachers and administration.  I'm not sure how you access that if you are not a resident, and given that there are many more gifted kids than spaces, I don't think they are incentivized to make exceptions for folks who are jurisdiction shopping.
