[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had kids at both, and the one thing I'll say is that the Humanities program felt more cohesive, if your child is someone who appreciates community. In the Humanities magnet, there's no one taking AP Lang in 8th grade (or whatever), so the same kids are in the same classes getting to know one another. Moreover, most of the Humanities kids take the bonus elective in 6th grade, so they have 4 of their 7 classes together. The STEM magnet has at least 3 different levels of differentiation in math in each magnet year, so kids only have 2 of their 7 classes together. I don't know. Maybe the STEM magnet feels more like a community if you have a mathlete, but my kids' experiences were that the STEM magnet is good academically but just normal MS socially. [/quote] What are the 3 math levels? I thought everyone goes into prealgebra in 6th, except for extremely rare kids whose parents fought for radical exceptions in 5th grade. [/quote]
