[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 of the 477. Happy to answer questions op. [/quote]

per day or week, how much specialized instruction does your student get as a SWD or GT student?

my DD is neither, so she gets whatever is left over, and with such a huge population of both, I worry that being in the middle means you get a lot of independent study time.[/quote]

My child is gifted and reads a lot independently at school.  When they were younger they regularly read several books a day.  The gifted label doesn't seem to make a difference beyond clustering, which would happen anyway.  I guess if the label helps teachers cluster kids that is useful?  I feel for the teachers because whatever they are pushing it is NOT apparent to most parents I talk with.

Scrolling through the budget the low FRL numbers really jumped out at some of the schools.  
Jamestown (16), Tuckahoe (15), Nottingham (10), Discovery (22)
A handful of others have less than 100.  A lot have around 200, and then there are the schools where everyone gets lunch for free (Title I, I believe, though the budget lists it as CEP).  [/quote]
