New York City public schools offer two types of Gifted & Talented education. Five accelerated programs in citiwide schools teach the standard NY state curriculum a year in advance, while enriched programs in over 100 district schools allow teachers flexibility in adding original material to the standard state curriculum.
When looking at these statistics, it becomes obvious that, whether or not your child has been arbitrarily dubbed gifted by the NYC public school system, odds are, they are not truly gifted in the classical sense. The beauty, though, is that it doesn't matter. Label or no label, all students deserve what NYC calls a "gifted" education.
