[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a middle school parent, but here is what I've found in exploring the options for my kids in the coming years: There is advanced tracking in MS for both English and Math. You'll see a lot of discussion on this site about the math program, but it boils down to a track that will have your child in Calculus or above by 12th grade. What I've heard about the TPMS STEM magnet is that it's not a great fit for a kid who is just all around smart, but is rather for the kid who would be taking apart electronics and learning various computer languages in his/her spare time even if he/she wasn't in the magnet program. That's what made me realize that we're not even going to try for that program for my oldest. Even if by some miracle we managed to do the tutoring to get her from "good at math, vaguely interested in science" into the program, she would be miserable because it would take constant tutoring to keep her there.
