[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] More than 20% of the students in my child's HGC grade are not in compacted math. And the HGC said that they had students not in compacted math last year who were accepted to the TPMS magnet. [/quote] PP with the all-compacted-math fourth-grade HGC here. I am very surprised to read this, especially because I thought that my child's HGC had the lowest median test scores for accepted students.[/quote] I think people assume that a child in HGC is "gifted" in all academic areas. That's not true. The compacted math assessment is different from the quantitative portion of the HGC test. Yes, most of the kids in HGC are in compacted math because their overall abilities are just higher. But, some kids are not as strong in math, even compared to non-"gfited" kids.[/quote]
