Which district? Some districts don't have G&T until 1st grade anyway, so you may not have missed anything. [ Reply | More

Call your zoned school and ask them. Not sure how these parents got into a G&T that's not in their zone. [ Reply | More

is 11 only for manhattan kids? i'm not sure how it all works...aren't there citywide G&T schools? (btw, what are some good resources for finding out the basics of this stuff. I need some kind of "NYC schools for Dummies" book or something...) [ Reply | More

For some reason, can't reply directly to your question below. Go to insideschools.org and look at Gifted and Talented. [ Reply | More

just looked on insideschools, and there is currently no G&T in district 14 (though i've heard rumors of a G&T class possibly opening at PS 132). does the fact that there is no G&T program in our district change anything? [ Reply | More

Call your district office. There was a lot of movement in terms of setting up new G&T programs in districts this year, and insideschools may not have been able to keep up. [ Reply | More

I think you would be eligible for programs in neighboring districts. [ Reply | More

They could only have gotten into PS11 if they lived in that district. [ Reply | More

We are in district 14. DD is going to Nest. Our selection form had one district G&T at PS 132. It is new for this year. Assuming they didn't remove it due to lack of students, it should still be there. There were only 17 who scored more than 90% in D14. There is no way someone outside of district got 11 G&T unless they had an address in the district. [ Reply | More

np. ITA. I hope for their dc's sake the parents didn't lie about their address. There are too many pissed off parents this year, and someone's likely to blow the whistle on them. [ Reply | More
