I know a few parents who turned it down and my CES child has a friend he made there who left in the first quarter to return to his neighborhood school. A couple other kids did too. It wasn't due to academics as they were doing fine but I think they and their parents weren't into it in the first place.[/quote]
I wonder if more and more parents are opting out lately compared to a few years ago when it was still HGC. I knew no one who opted out or dropped out and went back to the home school at our HGC. [/quote]

I think more people are opting out due to universal screening.  In the past parents put in the work of submitting the application so most had already made a decision, with universal screening many test and "see what happens" before learning about the program.  Another reason may be that it seems like at least in some schools there is beginning to be more of an effort to provide enrichment at local schools, so there are more options for some. [/quote]
