[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only have experience with TPMS. And while I have no idea if the coursework is any more rigorous than what's offered at Parkland, the overall peer group at TPMS (and its fellow magnet at Clemente) will be comprised of much higher performing kids by virtue of its test vs lottery distinction. So at Takoma you have demonstrably the top math and science students in the county, while at Parkland you would expect kids who are passionate or at least interested in science. In both cases, you should find highly motivated kids. As for the atmosphere at TPMS? Great, great school all around. My son, soon to graduate, had no trouble fitting in, making friends with magnet and non-magnet kids alike, and just enjoying his three years.[/quote] Well said![/quote]
