[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid needs more, there are HGCs, middle school magnets, etc. [/quote] Those are for the top 2-3%. The complaints are from the 75-97%. Those children are smart and capable but not being challenged. The bar has been so lowered that these children look like they are excelling. Below 75% are getting the extra assistance they need. And while my exact percentages are off, you can understand the point and parents frustration.[/quote] Perhaps MCPS should use the broader AAP as in Fairfax County. People on DCUM bitch about VA but FCPS does seem to do more to target resources to lower SES students or URM or ESL. Young Scholars is also a huge program. [/quote]
