[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone,

I am moving from Atlanta in January/February and my son is in the 5th grade and in the magnet program here.  I plan to leave him in Atlanta with my parents to finish the year while I get settled so I am not looking at the elementary schools.  I have been looking at the middle schools on greatschools.org and reading this forum.  I was wondering if you all could answer a few questions.  I am told testing for Takoma Park Middle school is done and that there will not be another test until the summer.  So if he is not in the magnet program there, what is the quality of education he would get?  How does TPMS compare to Parkland Middle?  Is it easier to get into Parkland Middle as it is lottery-based?  Does anyone know the stats on how many applied vs how many were admitted?  Last, how does TPMS compare to Silver Spring International?

I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.  Also, if it helps my son is extremely interested in math and science which is why I am interested in TPMS and Parkland.

Happy Holidays![/quote]

I know someone whose child applied to TPMS and took the magnet test when they moved here the summer before sixth grade.  Did well and got in.

Call and ask about that option.[/quote]
