[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would beg to differ given that an associates degree is more challenging than high school credits. While the program is in the early stages, I am positive it will become a highly sought after option and become more competitive as more people find out about it. [/quote]

I don't think a community college class is more challenging that a magnet class.  I am not sure that they are more challenging than an AP class.[/quote]

I am absolutely positive that a community college class is not more challenging than most AP's (let's ignore AP Computer Science Principles and Human Geography).  There are adjuncts who teach both AP classes during the day and MC classes at night.  You can ask them.

The Middle College program is really going to be most attractive to families whose children are not seeking to attend very competitive colleges.  Many competitive colleges would not accept 2 years worth of credits from Montgomery College anyways.  That being said, if you don't care about your child having 4 years at a high-level university and 3 summers of competitive internships, send him/her to Middle College.[/quote]
