Just from my experience, with the GT / HG children it is not about the school, it is the person, meaning if the child is gifted, regardless of what school they attend, they perform at the gifted level. I found that when there were career paths that required screening to get into that field, the group was diverse and came from all types of backgrounds; the screening was based primarily on cognitive ability and the group that made it through proved to me ( in different career paths ), that it did not matter where the candidates were coming from, what got them there was their brain and, if you asked them individually, that brain was intact from birth; it had nothing to do with the school. Hope it helps.
