[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a couple of kids in my child's school who go to higher grade classrooms for math, and 2 5th graders who do math online (with a midddle school or high school class, I can't remember which) in the library because they are so advanced. [/quote] This is what MCPS says they can do for true outliers, but it has been described as anywhere from a handful to a few dozen per grade across the system. It takes a lot for them to accept that a student needs it, and it appears that some administrators at individual schools are more amenable to identification/out-of-standard acceleration than others. How that identification occurs, whether there is a system-wide standard for that, whether it is ability-based or largely based on outside enrichment, and whether it is internally driven or reliant on family requests/private testing (for the last two, read: "$") remains unclear. YMMV.[/quote]
