[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also want to add. There are no gifted education programs here. That was a bit of a shock when we moved. I have also heard but do not have experience, that special education is very much lacking and families that can afford private special education have their kids attend Chartwell School. [/quote] +1. California schools are abysmally funded relative to DMV schools (and really most East Coast schools). Gifted programs were cut a number of years ago (though a few wealthy districts pay for them through local taxes). Special ed is woefully underfunded. Many public schools don't offer music, art, languages, or sports unless the programs are paid for locally. It is definitely a shock for families coming from strong East Coast districts (and one of the saddest stories of California's tax system, which limited property tax-based funding of K-12 schools in the late 70s).[/quote]
