PS 3 because that is our zoned school. DC is very smart. Is it better to be G&T peers? I was not so thrilled about PS 11 but G&T classes looked fine. [ Reply | More

we chose a G&T, and it happens to be in our zoned school, as well. very very smart kids. lucked out that it is close. still would have preferred it even if we lived in a zone of a popular gen ed. I think having the smarter peer group is a good thing. [ Reply | More

I would go with 11 g&t only because it would probably be an asset in middle schools. [ Reply | More

The drawback for me for G&T programs is that they are inside schools and are often more white than the general ed programs. I prefer a good general ed school that doesn't give my child a sense of us and them. I don't think you will find a great difference between the children at PS 3 and at PS 11 G&T. That said, I'm not a fan of blended classrooms (2 ages in one group), which is what PS 3 currently has. Do you have other children? Siblings would be automatically in at a zoned school--not so at a test-in program. [ Reply | More
