We got a letter telling a percentile rank only no specific SAS score. So our percentile rank is 97, we still haven't gotten into our HGC![/quote]

:cry:  The competition is stiff because of paucity of seats. There are MANY students who will benefit from HGC curriculum.  When will MCPS wake up to this? [/quote]

This. To those that say more seats will water down the curriculum, I disagree. There are children who are exactly like your children  (perhaps even smarter!) who did not get into the HGC due to shortage of seats. After going through this experience for the first time, I now believe there should be at least double the seats there currently are. Clearly, many parents in the county feel their child isn't being challenged enough. There needs to be less differentiation and more tracking and enrichment/acceleration. In a classroom where several 3rd graders can't even read (in my son's school) how is a gifted child supposed to get any attention?? [/quote]
