Came to say this. Plus you will want her in 3rd grade to see if she gets into CES. But there are plenty of outside activities you can enroll in to provide further challenge.
I was also coming to say this. If she is in 2nd now, the request to place her into 4th will be a problem for potential CES. They do the testing in 3rd, and it is not a flexible process. Also, CES is now a lottery for high performing students (as are MS magnets), so there is no guarantee that you will win.
Again the quasi-lottery ends in Spring 2023. In the Spring of 2024, there will be a different system. This was only done after the makers of CogAT refused to let the county give their test remotely during the height of the pandemic.
Again, there is a very good chance that MCPS maintains the lottery.
