In my school district (we live in an affluent and highly educated neighborhood with the highest scoring school district in Cal) there were lawsuits galore from parents who thought their kids needed to be in the gifted program. So, the school district moved the gifted programs to special schools and the admission to them is now lottery based because there were too many lawsuits challenging the IQ testing methodology etc. So, now, anyone whose child is lucky enough in the lottery can get into the gifted schools in the PS. And there is no gifted program in the regular PS.
