[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my suggestion is to keep your DD in private until 3rd grade, when she can apply to CES (formerly HGC) and if she is accepted, you can transfer back to public system. It's super boring in the first 4 years (K-3rd) for kids advanced in math. If you are financially capable, try to wait until 5th grade before apply to magnet MS is another option. If you get in, you go because the program is excellent and your DD will not be bored ever since (CES is still heavily humanity oriented, but math-wise is also good. Once accepted by STEM magnet MS, your DD will be assured to enjoy the curriculum).[/quote]

Before embarking on such a strategy, it'd be worthwhile reading the MS magnet acceptance threads (TPMS, EMS), which are recent, and then the CES acceptance threads, which will pop up in April or whenever they are announcing the invitations.  Take everything with a grain (many grains) of salt.  And understand as best possible how the selection process works, particularly for kids coming out of private schools, maybe even call MCPS to confirm.  Planning on acceptances at a CES and especially the MS magnets seems like a risky strategy no matter how smart your child is, and you'd be well served to have a back-up plan, even if you never need it.

The kid is 4. This whole conversation is insane.[/quote]
