[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we know - we go on SchoolDigger.com, visit schools, talk to old friends who've moved to MD.  We are aware that MoCo is in the grip of a social upheaval. But at least MoCo offers test-in GT at the MS level to a select few, and doesn't seem to fight high SES parents amalgamating around high-performing schools across the board.  [/quote]

The test in Montgomery County elementary GT programs took 477 kids out of 12000 3rd graders, I.e. 4%. Most of the lawyers' kids will have trouble competing with the scientists' kids.[/quote]

There are several MS test-in programs on the eastern side of MoCo.  My sibling has one child at the Takoma Park magnet (math and science, child got a seat set aside for a Takoma Park resident) and the other at Eastern MS in Silver Spring (humanities).  Neither child tested into elementary GT.  All kids in the MS magnets perform at least two years above grade level.  They're academic paradise for advanced kids.   [/quote]
