Coming from a CES, your child will have to adjust to less spontaneous and creative instruction. And definitely you should register your child for all the "advanced" classes (which are not advanced at all). There are "advanced" versions of Social Studies, Math and English, and children can take a World Language as well, which I highly recommend if they aren't already taking a native language class on weekends, or even if they are!

All this will be explained to you towards the end of the school year. Your child will round out their core classes with one or two electives. What I didn't know but wish I had, was that some elective teachers can be really terrible. The core teachers are usually decent, but MCPS has a problem finding instructors for languages, tech or other specials. Find out which are the best electives to take from parents at TPMS.

Middle school can be a drag for kids coming from a CES, but not to worry, high school differentiation, even without a magnet, is interesting, with Honors and AP classes, and all kinds of clubs. Hang in there.[/quote]
