[quote=Anonymous]Sadly, the answer to your question is either no, or not really.

Short of moving to MoCo or Fairfax and testing into one of their several MS magnet programs, you're not going to find what you're looking for in the public school realm in this Metro area, other that at BASIS, where facilities and extra curriculars are weak. The only DC public school where your child would have access to seriously advanced math (e.g. 6th grade algebra or geometry on track to 8th or 9th grade calculus) is BASIS.  It doesn't sound like you put in for BASIS in the lottery for 5th or 6th.

Why not supplement some more, e.g. through the Stanford Education Program for Gifted Youth.  Their on-line classes aren't cheap, but in our experience, they're terrific.

It also sounds like you could do more with the Spanish instruction.  We take our children to a language program in MoCo for several hours on Sun afternoons - great classes, many advanced kids we've known for years.

Good luck.  [/quote]
