[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is finishing 2nd and has been consistently testing at 99th percentile on all the MAP testing. This is his first CogAT report, his overall percentile is 99, all the stanines are 9s, and it says his profile is 9A.

Forgive the basic question, but are there things we should be advocating for at school? As far as we can tell enrichment is a joke and he’s not being challenged. We do supplemental math for fun at home because he loves it and he’s almost through 3rd grade content. He’s our oldest and the MCPS system is new to me. I want to support him & advocate for him in order to keep him engaged and to encourage a love for learning. [/quote]

My advice to you is tutor and have your kid apply to TJ or Poolesville in High School.  MCPS watered down it's G/T programs to be "equitable" versus "equal".  In other words, MCPS no longer selects the best-of-the-best, which is why the brightest kids apply to TJ (in Virginia) and are even bussed by MCPS school buses.  Poolesville is nationally ranked, but can't hold a candle to TJ.  [/quote]

You need to live in one of the NoVA school divisions for TJ eligibility [/quote]
