[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pine Crest--kid was in the lottery but not selected, will get ELC next year. Honestly we (including kid) had been going back and forth about wanting a spot. Kid wanted more in-depth, interesting work but was not excited about the longer bus ride and super late dismissal, which would've messed with their long-held after school activity. Staying at the same school with pull-outs for ELC and compacted math seems to be the best option, to be honest.[/quote]
We can relate. DS got ELC/waitlisted also, and though a little disappointed, we’re also relieved because he has a large group of good friends and our current schedule works for us given all our after school activities. [/quote]

I had an older child go through the CES a while ago, and my younger one was also waitlisted because of the lottery in 2021. I know it may not feel like it, but it isn't the end of the world. The CES is a great program, but there's a lot you can do to ensure your child gets similar exposure regardless of the school's ELC program. I liked the CES mainly because of the cohort, but the academics aren't unique.[/quote]

Like what?  I've got a very bright, very bored 3rd grader who made the lottery but wasn't selected, and getting his home school to provide enrichment is like trying to push jello up a hill.[/quote]

I've had this experience, but at least next year they should be getting ELC.[/quote]

Honestly, they were supposed to be getting enrichment this year too.  Not at all overflowing with confidence in my home school's ability or motivation to provide it.

Is there a list of GT specialists by school? [/quote]
