+1
And that is exactly the same for 7th grade in Takoma too.
My child began to write again in Takoma only in 8th grade. By that time pretty much forgot everything that learned in HGC in 4th and 5th.

TPMS magnet is not for writing...

Which is to say the same for regular MS English instruction in MCPS generally. My DC had a similar experience returning to home MS after HGC.

And as of now, no one has posted an example of a school (other than humanities magnet) that doesn't place all students in Advanced English.

Another poster said her child at SSIMS was placed in a class designated Advanced English GT.

Actually at SSIMS everyone is in Advanced English, and receives a GT credit, but there seems to also be ability grouping by section. So some differentiation, just it isn't designated by course title or anything on the grade report that I'm aware of.
