You basically just described what the NYC "G&T" program is. All it is smaller class sizes and less disruptive students.

There are only like 4 actual accelerated learning programs out of the hundreds in NYC's "G&T".

What percentage of NYC's students are in these programs?

I was a student of public Texas ISDs, and briefly taught in Tennessee, so "public school" is an entirely different definition/beast than NYC's [probably better] education systems.
