[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to everyone who responded so far! To the 18:02 poster: yours is a very insightful question. :)  So, our goal is top-tier college admission, as much as that can be a goal of mine given the child will actually have to do all the work.  But, shall we say, I want to do as much as I can to enable such admission if the child turns out to be willing to do what he needs to do. He is only in ES now, so, you know. :)

My personal experience has been that being in a very, very, very,very competitive program at stage n of your education actually compromises your chances of getting into a similarly high-tier program for stage n+1 of your education.  That's also part of what I'm trying to figure out.  I'd like a school/program where programs or groups exist to allow a high-performing kid to excel and to achieve admission to a top school, but where the competition is not so insane that the kid gets burnt out before even getting to college.  I'm not sure if this exists.

For the 18:16 poster, no, I am not sure they will get in as you probably never can be.  I am definitely very grateful for any advice or input on how that process works or how to best prepare a kid to apply/get in.....

[b]Thanks to everyone again!  When you say that you have experience with MS magnets, I assume you mean the Clemente school?  We are in MoCo, so that would be our only MS option, right? [/b] Is anyone in Poolesville for HS? How has that experience been?[/quote]

No. Downcounty the MS magnets are at Takoma Park Middle School (math & science), and Eastern Middle School (humanities). [/quote]
