School For Smart Kids Only
In Reno NV The Davidson Academy has gone in the oppisite direction of “No Child Left Behind”. They’ve said “Few Kids Need Aply”. Students must test out in the top 99.9 percential to be admitted.
The Davidson Academy and its not-for-profit umbrella organization, the Davidson Institute, were founded by education software developers Bob and Jan Davidson.
Their former company, Davidson & Associates, was known for the popular Math Blaster and Reading Blaster software series of the early 1980s. They co-authored the book, “Genius Denied: How to Stop Wasting Our Brightest Young Minds.”
The Davidsons donated more than $10 million toward the academy. It opened in 2006 with 39 students. When classes begin this fall about 100 are expected at the school, which focuses on the individual needs of students who are grouped by ability level rather than age.
