[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school tells us that there is only like a few kids get selected and go to magnet middle school every year. Is that true? We are interested and looking at Roberto Clemente Middle School in Germantown. How competitive to get in? They say it is also depends on your grades and lottery based. My child is strong in math and above average in language. [/quote]

There are lots of threads on this because the answer is complex.  But the short explanation is that your student has to have quite high MAP scores and A grades in the relevant subjects.  (The MAP scores are adjusted for the income level of the student's elementary school.)  If your student qualifies, they are placed in a lottery that draws names to assign magnet places.  PP is right that thousands of kids qualify for a very small number of spots.  The chances that any student will get a seat is very small.  Make sure to have multiple plans for middle school that both you and your child can be happy about: you can hope for the magnet (but dont talk it up too much), plan for your local MS, and also try to get a place in the MSMC.  Ideally you will end up in a situation where you at least have a choice, but if not, you will have the knowledge and some interest in your home school.[/quote]
