[quote=Anonymous]My daughter got offered a spot at Loiederman's Magnet program.   I do not have a good understanding of Magnet programs.   I've read through the posts on Loiederman on this forum but still have a few questions left.   I am hoping folks can share their recent experiences with Loiederman so I can get some understanding of their Magnet. Our home MS is Tilden.  So, our decision is between Tilden and Loiederman.

What is the level of non Art classes there?  Is it comparable to the academically well performing schools at Moco?  I just would not want for my DD to fall behind in those subjects.  Looking at test performance at Loiederman, it appears to be lower than MCPS average.  I mean I can see that they offer regular core courses but do they teach them at the same level of rigor?

How easy or not it is to join their theater performance or dance studio?  I read on this forum that a lot of kids do not manage to get in because so many of them want to.  I would question whether it makes sense to go there if the child cannot really participate anyway.  How would you rate the level of their Art programs?  Is it comparable to private enrichment opportunities which are available in DMV?   Is the level of performance there much higher compare to the regular non Magnet schools like Tilden?

For those of you whose kids are at Loiederman currently, would you say the decision of joining was worth it?
