NYC parents would not enroll kids in public schools if Mamdani’s Education Department ends kindergarten gifted and talented program: survey

By Barbara Russo-Lennon Posted on February 3, 2026

Nearly half of NYC parents said they will not enroll their children in NYC public schools if the city eliminates the kindergarten gifted and talented (G&T) program, according to a pro-accelerated education survey released on Monday.

Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum and Education (PLACE NYC) surveyed 521 parents from the five boroughs to find out how they feel about a possible end to the high-achieving program. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has not been shy about wanting to end the G&T program for kindergarten students.
