[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]200 - 300 kids designated as gifted at one middle school? That's ridculous. If that's true, APS needs to re-define "gifted." That's about 1/4-1/3 of that school's population. When I was a kid, we had about 6-10 kids in our entire elementary school designated as gifted, and it was a school on Long Island with a similar demographic to North Arlington with about 700 kids K-6. (We were pulled out for 1/2 day once a week and bused to a center for district-wide services.) [/quote] My sense is that gifted = high achieving in Arlington. If you actually administered a full IQ test, I suspect most would not score above the 130 threshold.[/quote] Well this is most definitely a description of the AAP program in FCPS. Absolutely no longer a "gifted" program.[/quote]
