Your home/base school is determined by your physical address, OP. Check the MCPS website, enter any street address, and you will know to which school you belong.

If your child is accepted to a CES (elementary magnet), or a middle or high school magnet, they will be bused to the one that serves your area. Some bus rides are very long, you need to inquire about the bus route length. If the home school houses a CES, your child will just go to that one, and will not have to change schools.

A word about middle and high school magnets: in order to desegregate certain schools, and in an attempt to revitalize their lower-income neighborhoods, MCPS placed the middle and high school magnets there. Those schools do not perform as well as others in wealthier districts of Montgomery County, so if you don't want to live there, you'll have to accept long bus rides.

Oh please  - MCPS might have put magnets where they did for this reason but a lot has changed in 30+ years since that happened. [/quote]

Not as much as you hope, PP. To be perfectly clear, none of the middle and high school magnets are in even decent school districts. This is not surmise, it's fact. The reason things haven't changed that much in 30 years is that Montgomery County is very segregated and that is hard to change.

It hasn’t changed that they are all in the same district. MoCo only has one: MCPS.[/quote]
