[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You  can call the office about the CES lottery, but it's probably more feasible to ensure ELC membership at your own ES.  That's totally on the principal, so just make sure to ask.  Fwiw my DC is a high-flyer in reading with scores like yours, and wasn't even identified GT in younger years, let alone CES.  ELC can be great with the right teacher.  Otherwise it's just fine.  CES is of particular interest if your DC is a super outlier and not socially in sync with peers (leaving the home school can provide a fresh start), but there are plenty of other, different opportunities ahead.[/quote]

My school's reading specialist did tell me that if his teacher advocated for him, he could be put in the ELC classroom even if he isn't on the list from Central. Also, they told me that the ELC classroom is fluid, so he could be moved there during the school year if they later on decide that he needs the enrichment. Since I have to do his yearly 504 review with his teacher and guidance counselor anyway, I'll probably discuss it with them then. I know he's a good reader and enjoys reading, but he prefers informational texts over narrative, so I'm mixed on whether ELC would really be something he enjoys anyway.

(Like your daughter, I was also not identified as GT in my younger years, and didn't get into the special programs at either the MS or HS level back when I was in MCPS. Nevertheless I still got a perfect score on the SAT Verbal. Though, if standardized test scores were anything other than a dick measuring contest, I suspect I would be doing a more important job than one that would allow me to shitpost on this forum on a Tuesday afternoon.)[/quote]
