[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're saying your out-of-bounds child is at Argyle, Loiderman or the other DCC lottery magnet?

They are guaranteed a spot somewhere in the DCC just like any other DCC student.
Unfortunately as they do not have a "base school" they effectively get last choice/whatever seats are left over in part of what MCPS calls Round 2. I don't know what high schools traditionally have space in Round 2 but my guess would be all of them with the exception of Blair because so many in-bounds Blair kids put Blair as their first choice.

"Students who reside outside the DCC, but attend a DCC middle school, may participate in the high school Choice process during Round 2.  These students also are assured of attending a Consortium high school; however, they have no guarantee of admittance to a specific high school, because they do not reside within a base area of one of the high schools.  Choice forms for DCC residents are processed in the first round, and Choice forms for out-of-Consortium students are processed in the second round of the student assignment process, after students residing in the Consortium have been provided with their high school assignments."

Separate from this lottery choice process they are also eligible for the application or criteria programs and I think they are considered for this in the same pool as the regular DCC residing students.

This includes programs like Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Engineering at Wheaton HS. [/quote]

Yes, that’s my kid’s situation - they’re an out of bounds kid at Loiederman. This is so helpful, thanks![/quote]

Very few slots.  LMS is not worth it for the magnet program.  Its not well run.[/quote]

My kid has had a great experience at Loiederman - I’m sorry it wasn’t a good fit for your family.[/quote]
