[quote=Anonymous]Unless you move in November, you cannot apply to Blair or Wheaton right now. From Germantown I think your STEM related options are Poolesville SMCS or Global, Seneca Valley PLTW, Clarksburg PTECH (I think?), Gaithersburg PLTW Biotech, & Watkins Mill regional IB. Your kid could also apply to the Early College program for 11th and 12th grades at MC Germantown - the AS Bioengineering is pretty cool. Folks on this board will say all those schools are terrible because they focus on averages. But the reality is that each of those schools have a high performing cohort concentrated in this specialty programs. Rather than gambling on admission to something specific downcounty by moving, just choose all of the upcounty STEM programs that might be interesting. Wait to see what your kid is invited to and attend the info sessions in February to choose. Your 8th grader’s interests/focus will change a lot in the next few months, so don’t overthink this now.[/quote]
