[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DCPS starts tracking, test in classes, starts gifted programming in 3rd grade like every jurisdiction around us, most parents are not going to choose their local school. [/quote]

AA middle class poster here (because for whatever reason, people on this board think we don't exist nor want high performing schools for our children), I agree.  We need gifted programming.  That's the only way I would feel comfortable sending my kids to the neighborhood school.  It's insane that our house is worth 900k but our schools are awful.[/quote]

Please advocate for this with the DC Council. White people can’t do this because they will just get accused of being racist by David Grosso. [/quote]

Gifted classes is not the same as tracking.

In MoCo, fewer than 5% of students qualify for CES. The number for MS magnets is also very small.

Just be careful what you wish for, as few children are truly gifted, defined by an FSIQ of 130+. The average is 100.
