[quote=Anonymous]My DC moved from a well regarded private to the Blair magnet. It has been a really good experience for them. The magnet offers the opportunity to take Magnet Geometry the summer before school starts. So as long as your kid finishes Algebra by 8th, they can catch up to the other kids by the time school starts. There are some extraordinarily bright students in the program, plus kids coming from MCPS magnets so they have already completed Algebra II and can take Functions - what was Precalc in our day, as 9th graders. That is about a 1/3 of kids - everyone else takes a Precalc class that is basically Alg 2 and Precalc rolled into one over 3 semesters. And computer science - there are definitely kids that are more advanced. But my kid handled all of it fine with good grades and loves the cohort - both in the magnet and how diverse the rest of the school is. Good luck![/quote]
