[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the great information! My DD has already signed up for an audition at Hyattsville Middle, for the Creative and Performing Arts Program. ... Do you think that Hyattsville [if she gets in] will be a good middle school for her, or should we just put her in a private middle school, and then test for Eleanor?[/quote]

My older DD is in the Creative Writing CPA program at HMS; younger DD is headed there for 6th grade (CPA starts at 7th) next year. For older DD, CPA has been great. It's a good group of kids and she's getting to do what she loves (writing). There have been some fantastic field trips and other opportunities, and some interesting afterschool clubs for her. I know kids in the drama, band, and orchestra CPA majors at HMS and from what I've heard from parents their experiences have been similar.

That's not to say there aren't some challenges. It's middle school, so there are kids trying to push limits and hormones are crazy. There are some very good teachers and some who don't meet that standard, but overall there's been more positives than negatives.[/quote]
