Everyone is gifted!

No, seriously, many educators/school systems have a lot of trouble accepting that some kids are way brighter than others.

I calculated that 15.7% of the students are in your district's gifted program. It may be that they've admitted everyone whose IQ score (or whatever score they use) was at least 1 standard deviation above the mean (this would be an IQ of ~115 or higher). I'm speculating here because the numbers match.
