Fifty Years of Developing the Gifted in Science and Mathematics.
Taffel, Alexander
Roeper Review, v10 n1 p21-24 Sep 1987
This discussion of the fifty-year history of the Bronx High School of Science focuses on its responses to challenges questioning its philosophy and method of admission and charges of elitism and isolation from the community. How the school met these challenges and still fulfilled its mission is considered significant for other schools of the gifted. (Author/KM)
