[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I just meant I love living in dc--and wouldn't move for a public school experience similar to what we can have here. (Deal and Wilson.) I have nothing against MD and VA--but I am a city person. But, like all of us, trying to weigh the options. We have a few years before middle school yet... Deal is a huge school, Latin and basis are lottery-only, and I'm trying to research options. The lower cost of housing in the more urban parts of Moco is also appealing.

Our child took the olsats and bracken and was 99 in both. This was K though.

Your child tested gifted in K.  I have no idea what all the different IQ/aptitude tests are, but I'm thinking one size not fit all.  Just because your child tested high in K, doesn't mean your child will test high on other tests by 3rd grade or beyond.  There are no guarantees.  I think you might be better of hedging your bets by staying in DC.

Having stated that, in MCPS, there are different MS magnets - one focused on STEM, and another focused on Language Arts.  But, I think you probably have to live in MoCo to get a spot.
