Discussion about
Does anyone know anything (good or bad) about the UWS district G&T programs (i.e. not the citywide ones)? Also, I recently learned that one benefit of the citywide program is that some go K-8, solving the middle-school search as well. Do any of the district ones do the same, or do all of those only go K-5? Thanks in advance.

Gifted and Talented!! I remember trying to explain to the kids how the 'A' students worked for the 'B' students and they were better off beging well-rounded.

Are you even gifted or talented enough to get into the program?

Go to urbanbaby.com - its mainly an nyc mom website and schools (private and public) are one of the most discussed topics. Do a quick search

None of the district based programs go past 5th grade as they are associated with the elementary schools that they are in. Nest and Anderson both go past 5th grade, with Nest going all the way through high school.

You more or less have no choice but to face the fact that your child(ren) will have to continue to take tests to get into school if you are going the public route. That is the situation I am in as my daughter will need to take a test to get into middle school as she is currently in a district g&t.
