Hi frannieandejsmom!
This really is a small world! I grew up in D54. I was in their gifted program a long, long, long time ago. It was useless back then. Literally pulled you out (we were bussed to another school) for 1/2 day a week to basically hang out with other kids. I was also in D211 before there were any AP classes. I've heard they improved a lot since.
