[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the best primary and middle schools in DC and MD for an exceptionally intelligent kid, if the goals are to ensure that she is challenged intellectually throughout her time there (by both teachers and students) but still gets the social development needed to be well-adjusted. I don't want her to see herself as better or worse than the other kids, but also don't want her to be bored.

When answering, please indicate whether you're basing your answer on reputation, personal experience, or something else.

p.s. If you feel the need to attack a parent for thinking their kid is highly intelligent, gifted, a genius, or whatever, please start your own thread to vent and leave this one alone. If you want to stay here, just accept my premise and answer the question.[/quote]

We've had a decent experience in FCPS AAP with two DDs that are the same (measured IQs well north of 150) but are moving to private next year for 9th grade.  Neither of my DDs enjoy school very much because of a) inconsistent teachers, some of which are outstanding but others of which are stone awful and b) overly bureaucratic rules that make sense given overcrowding but are rather silly otherwise and c) crappy food.

We have this problem too.  I realized the issue was the crappy food.  Then I was really hurt when I confronted the reality that I was packing DC's lunch everyday.  Oh vey![/quote]
