[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has about 20% of its kids in GT programs..but the program is not supposed to be so great/different. If you want a truely advanced program you have to just look to the top 3%..which is about what the really gifted population is.[/quote] Heard the 3% number a few times. Here are some questions. Is top 3% in Kentucky the same as top 3% in New York? Is top 3% in New York the same as top 3% in Manhattan? Is top 3% in Montgomery county the same as top 3% in Finland, Japan, Hong Kong, or what ever? [/quote] Why does that matter? Schools are local. It is the top 3% of the local population (whatever that is). By definition, someone in the 99th percentile has needs vastly different from those of someone in the 50th percentile.[/quote]
