[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone mentioned the Cherry Creek School District in Colorado earlier.  That's a good comparison for size, demographics, differences across the district, etc.

The district offers a self-contained gifted school, for which students must apply but don't need to be referred.

You'd think the bulk of the students would come from the wealthier parts of the district, but they don't.  Most of the kids draw from the schools where the overall demographics or caliber aren't great.

Why not a system like this?  Some of the FCPS elementary schools are absolutely outstanding.  It's crazy to think a smart child's needs "couldn't be me" in that environment.  And leave an option where those who choose can self select to apply, for whatever reason.

And the Challenge School does not provide transportation. [/quote]

There are thousands of school districts and thousands of implementations of some sort of program. To read this thread, all of those implementations are better than how FCPS is doing it.[/quote]
