NYC Gifted and Talented Program and Testing

Well, the countdown has started for the NYC gifted and talented test results! According to the NYC department of web site the test results will be released in April. According to the site the test scores will come out in April and the applications are due by April 19.  This most likely means parents should find out the scores some time in early April.  Since there’s no sibling preference change many parents who already have children in the NYC Gifted and Talented program can breath a sigh of relief since the sibling preference from the past is still in place.

As you know, my daughter is in the gifted and talented program at PS 33 Chelsea Prep in district 2. All I can say is that this program at PS 33 is simply amazing. Our daughter is now in 3rd grade and we have really seen tremendous academic excellence over the years since Kindergarten.  Stay tuned as we all anxiously await OLSAT and NNAT test results.

Also, I’ve heard from several parents who made it through the second round at Hunter Elementary and got accepted to Kindergarten this fall. Congrats to all the parents who made it through this treacherous process and no matter if your child made it into the Hunter or not, I’m sure you’re relieved the entire process is over.
