[quote=Anonymous] [quote] The designation also makes you eligible for the governor’s schools in HS, which is the only real tangible reason to pursue it. The rest is just a mash-up of parental anxiety and weird competitiveness. But to answer the original question, yes, the vast majority of kids in APS have the designation. Especially North Arlington. Just think about the kinds of people attracted to the DC area for work and can afford to own a house in one of the most expensive counties in the country. This is their offspring. Mind you, most of the kids with the designation aren’t actually *gifted* like in the sense of being prodigies. They’re bright, high-achievers with solid home resources. Is this true? Do you have to be designated gifted to get into Governor's School??? [/quote] Yes, it's true. [/quote]
