[quote=Anonymous]MLK can keep your child on the same advanced math track that your home school can. The humanities classes will be more advanced than your home school offers. A unique curriculum is woven throughout English, Social Studies and media. Media takes up an elective spot all 3 years. There are big projects. There’s more reading and writing. MLK is a middle years IB school, so the world language program moves more quickly than at some home schools. Students who go there can be in Spanish or French 4 by freshman year of high school. MLK magnet students are only segregated by cohort for their 3 humanities classes, but often have quite a few magnet kids in their advanced math classes. There are usually fewer boys than girls in humanities magnets.

Lots of MLK humanities kids end up at Poolesville, even if they choose the Global Ecology or SMCS program instead of humanities for high school. My MLK alum is at Poolesville with many kids from MLK and home middle school. My kid, who is a junior now, used to think going to MLK wasn’t worthwhile because there was a very strong cohort at home middle school, but now says they are really glad they went to MLK because it made them the student they are today — but my kid is a humanities student at heart.[/quote]
