[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older DD attended MCPS from K-12. She was identified as GT in 1st. We identify as AA and are lower MC. Quickly it became apparent that she would be either the only AA or one of two in her GT classes. This held true for MS and HS as well as she took Honors, Advanced MCPS curriculum, and AP classes. There were social difficulties that resulted. This is part of the reason why my younger DD attends a small private school. All students take a rigorous curriculum. Her classmates are more racially and socioeconomically diverse than her sister's were.[/quote] +1 This was exactly our experience. AA son one of very few in middle school magnet and was unhappy socially. Transferred to Big 3 for high school where he has a very diverse group or friends and is much happier. [/quote]
