[quote=Anonymous]To the PP incapable of following the earlier posted links to view for herself how MCPS describes GT...The link does not have a specific cut off percentage.  My understanding is that MCPS keeps that secret.  But it does describe the GT goals.  Note that #3 is not the only point on this list and that it is broken out seperately from the first 2 points, meaning that those that are at the very top and qualify for magnets/HGC are part of the overall GT group but they are not the only kids in that grouping.

school will have an appropriate, clearly defined and articulated program for gifted and
talented students.

a) Programming will be developed as needed in each K-8 school and in other settings.
[b]Planning for gifted and talented will include special provisions for:[/b]

(1) Challenging instruction, flexible grouping, and scheduling arrangements that
allow time with intellectual peers for in-depth study in mathematics,
reading/language arts, science, social studies, and foreign language
(2) Communication of the program to parents

b) The Honors Program will be the vehicle for serving gifted and talented students in
all Grade 9-12 schools.

c) For students who require a markedly different programming, centers for highly
gifted and other special programs including magnet programs will continue to be
provided, and new programs will be developed as needed.
