[quote=Anonymous]There hsa not been a lot of actually verified information being bantered around on here. DCPS has purposely not chosen to have a test-in gifted and talented pull out program as many of its surrounding jurisdictions to. It is not accidental. There is a major disparity among the races regarding who is selected by the criteria used by most jurisdictions so that white and Asians are by far overrepresented compared to the average. Nonetheless, DCPS does believe strongly in providing real differentiation in the form of resources and opportunities for advanced learners in elementary, middle, and high school. At some levels this looks like curricular units that are above grade level and designed to be used in small group settings. In other grades it looks like special pull-out programs, and in others we're talking about Advanced Placement which while it is open to all, is especially good for precocious learners. [/quote]
