[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are going to move anyway, and like the general neighborhood, then moving inbound for TPMS sounds like a good option. Your child will have a slightly higher chance of getting into the magnet from the lottery, and having a math kid be inbounds for Blair, regardless of whether or not they make it into the Blair. Magnet, is good, long-term planning.[/quote]

To answer OP's original question, opportunities for accelerated math at SSIMS and non-magnet TPMS would be the same, I assume.  Maybe someone can comment specifically on whether TPMS non-magnet offers any advantages in math vs. another MS.  I agree that being inbounds to TPMS is a plus for magnet admission.   [/quote]

OP here - we’d rather not move, but in looking at the courses offered online it does seem like there is more available in STEM offerings even for non-magnet students.[/quote]

Sounds like you are talking about electives? They may be better and the teachers may be better but I don’t think it’s worth moving for if you don’t have other reasons to move.[/quote]
