[quote=Anonymous]Very confused by this. I've never heard of this and there isn't one at our W-cluster elementary school. In fact, this is one of the main complaints about MCPS (that there are no Gt programs at individual schools)/ [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We didn't know it when we moved here, but MoCo also has a second level of GT programming -- there is a GT program in each school, and a county-level GT program (highly gifted center or HGC) that kids can test into -- takes the top 2-3% of the kids. So whereas in DC, our kids struggled to find grade-level academic peers, they had them in spades in MoCo (both tested into HGC), which has given them challenges they were missing. We miss many things about our community in DC (for one, diversity was much better), but for our kids, academically, it was the right thing to do. We have been very pleased with our kids' experience overall. Good luck![/quote][/quote]
