New York City Gifted and Talented Programs Kindergarten to 3rd Grade by School District Student born in 2011

From the New York City "Gifted and Talented" K-3 Program handbook for students born in 2011, you will see a list of schools with "gifted and talented" programs.  source: http://schools.nyc.gov/NR/rdonlyres/B396FF34-0BC9-4100-B854-10BF1FEBDFC6/0/2016GTHandbookforStudentsBornin2011.pdf

Let's see the density of these schools by district.

See Link to Map

It appears that Brooklyn has less schools with "gifted and talented" for K-3 per district but it also appears that Brooklyn has smaller districts.  This may be a result of higher population in Brooklyn.  But Queens is very close to Brooklyn in population and still appears to have larger school districts.

Even Park Slope District 15 schools shows as only 3 schools with "gifted and talented" programs for K-3.
