[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That may well be (Basis Arizona is different from Basis DC) but a quick perusal of these stats shows clearly that many students at MoCo magnets and local private schools take the tests at their school. So not all are taking the tests at RSM or AoPS. DCPS does offer the test at a central site (at UDC in the past years, for instance). Even if DCPS kids were taking these tests at AoPS and/or RSM, it would imply that their home school does not offer the tests or if they do, the kids don't do well. Doesn't speak too well for math enrichment (at the extreme tail) in DCPS. Anyway, your first point is what I am trying to make.[/quote] Yep. I would imagine that a 130-ish IQ kid would be fine in any higher performing DCPS or charter. There is enough of a peer group of kids in the bright-moderately gifted range. People with highly gifted kids (145+ IQ) are generally not going to find that their kids are well served in regular public schools. Those kids will end up in public magnet programs or elite privates. Arizona doesn't have many elite privates nor does it have as many strong magnet programs, so the highly gifted kids there still often attend charters. [/quote]
