[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Takoma Park Elementary does more pull-outs than other MCPS elementary schools, as it host the (mostly fake) "gifted" program. I say it is mostly fake because parent pressure led it to be watered down and the curriculum spread to all the kids. However, it's still probably your best option before the Highly Gifted Centers start up in 4th and 5th. After that, your daughter will have great choices. The Takoma Park Middle School magnet is wonderful if her interests are in STEM, and then the Blair Magnet is one of the best in the country. Your other option would be one of the progressive schools (but they are EXPENSIVE) for 2nd - 3rd and then take the HGC test and presumably get in. [/quote] Agree - the Takoma pyramid makes a lot of sense especially for a kid who is math or science focused.[/quote]
