Hi!

We just got a Kindergarten offer from Morton for the Regional Gifted Program for 2022-2023 and I’d love to hear about your experience. Did you enroll your child in Kindergarten in the fall of 2021?

Thanks very much!

Amy

Hi all,

Our Kindergarten results are below. We got an offer from Morton School of Excellence – Regional Gifted Center (RGC) and waitlisted at several Choice Elementary schools. Am curious if any parents are familiar with the RGC at Morton. We are not familiar with the school and would love to hear from any parents with kids at the RGC at Morton.

1. Morton Regional Gifted Center – offered.

2. Columbus – waitlist #6 (NOTE she is attending Pre-K at Columbus now)

3. Drummond Montessori – waitlist #14

4. LaSalle II – waitlist #37

5. Disney – waitlist #51

6. Disney II – waitlist #86

All other waitlist numbers higher than 100.

We were not offered at any Classical schools or any other RGC schools.

Thanks everyone for your insights!

Hi, I found this info on the CPS website in the FAQs. Basically, a score of 115 or higher “may” be good enough to get into a Regional Gifted Center. I realize this doesn’t answer all the questions but may help.
How are students selected for Selective Enrollment Schools?

Applicants for the Regional Gifted Centers and Classical Schools are selected based on their admissions exam score, and applicants for the Academic Centers are selected based on a point system. Students who earn a score below 115 may not be considered potential candidates for a Regional Gifted Center seat. Students who earn a score below the 75th percentile in either reading or mathematics or both may not be considered potential candidates for a Classical Schools seat. Selection for all applicants is in accordance with the admissions policy for magnet, selective enrollment and other GoCPS programs.
