elimination of Kindergarten G&T
NYC Public Schools had not eliminated Kindergarten Gifted & Talented (G&T) admissions as of early 2026; NYCPS enrollment guidance still described Kindergarten G&T as part of the Kindergarten application process.
Full reasoning
Why this is incorrect
The post states that Kindergarten G&T was eliminated. However, NYC Public Schools’ own enrollment guidance (updated January 15, 2026) explicitly says that “Gifted and Talented for kindergarten is part of the Kindergarten Application Process” and directs families looking for Kindergarten G&T to additional information. That indicates Kindergarten G&T still existed and was being handled through the kindergarten admissions process—not eliminated.
How this was verified
- I checked NYCPS’s official Enrollment Support knowledge-base entry about applying to G&T (an NYC DOE/NYCPS-managed site). The entry, updated 01/15/2026, confirms Kindergarten G&T remains part of the kindergarten application process.
- NYCPS’s main “Gifted and Talented” enrollment page also exists and presents G&T as an active enrollment category on NYCPS’s official website.
Given these official NYCPS sources, the claim that Kindergarten G&T had been eliminated is contradicted by NYCPS’s own published admissions guidance in 2026.
