[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]left out one thing: 75% of children in my neighborhood are accepted to AAP.[/quote] How can they accommodate 75%? I take it this is not like HGC in MCPS. Curious[/quote] 1. it's 75% in that neighborhood, not the whole district 2. FCPS's AAP program takes about top 15 to 20% of the entire district; MCPS HGC takes in top 2%. In my mind, MCPS does it right. An area's gifted population is about 2 to 3% of the top. If many of the students in the area are very bright, then the home school should be able to serve them adequately (yes, it's an assumption). A true "gifted" program should serve the top 2 to 3% of the student population of that area.[/quote] Agreed. I heard that something like 40% of MCPS tests as gifted (not sure of the source of that). So you are correct that the home school should be able to accommodate that. [/quote]
