[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the 805 poster above.  The only differientation I’ve seen is advance math in Middle School.  [/quote]

I think they track in MS.  My son is also "gifted" in all 4 core subjects + art.  He has been in the same classes in MS multiple time with other kids who are also labeled gifted (they have a group that meets occasionally in middle school so he knows who they are). I don't think the school would ever admit it, but they are clustered in the same classes.[/quote]

They definitely track in APS middle school.  My daughter was identified in the 4 core subjects, and both in 6th grade and 7th grade, they've shuffled her schedule around after school started so that they could have a core contingent of gifted kids in the class. (not sure why they can't figure that out ahead of time, but whatever....) It makes it easier to provide them with differentiated work when there are 4 or 5 who become one group when need be.  She knows, more or less, who is labelled gifted in her grade.

When DD was in 5th grade, I remember her doing more in-depth scientific experiments for science.  In Social Studies, it's been a little less clear, but I think they've done some further enrichment in terms of just digging deeper into the material.  Obviously math and reading are easy to figure out.  [/quote]
