[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does MCPS have a school similar to TJ in Virginia?  What school would that be?[/quote]
No. They have magnet programs embedded in different schools. The top three in demand are Blair, Richard Montgomery, and Poolesville. But there are many more.

Are they any good?  Is it a difficult process to get in?  I had a foster child this year who went to an engineering magnet  middle school and I was shocked at how easy her classes were and how bad her teachers were.  [/quote]
This year was a poor year to judge anything by. Classes covered much less content and the grading system was changed to be very generous.

What middle school are you talking about? MCPS doesn’t have an engineering magnet. If you meant Parkland MMS, be aware that the school is a whole school magnet and students in the entire catchment area are assigned by lottery (plus one here from out of area, also chosen by lottery.) It’s a very different program from a competitive application based magnet.[/quote]

It’s also aerospace and not engineering.[/quote]
