[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to me Davidson's criteria are fine for catching gifted children, but certainly don't seem to limit the program to whatever "profoundly gifted" means.  As a result, I see no inconsistency between 3,000 Davidson kids versus only 50-100 kids in the US who are truly testing at PG levels. [/quote]

Got it--you think the Davidson criteria are too low since they are lower than my source. So let's go with that level of gifted--Davidson-level. Perhaps this is what OP is talking about when she asks about PG kids, the criteria set out by one of the few organizations in the country trying to work with this population… Are you OK with a parent asking for specific advice for their child based on these criteria?

So what are the best school options for those kids, some of whom, we can guess, live in northern Virginia? (After all, the DC region has about 2% of the US population, so 2% of 3000 Davidson-identified kids would be 60 kids, not to mention others either not identified by tests or whose parents haven't applied to the program.)
