[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc is about to start at Eastern. We are concerned about the math education, but figured the benefits of the magnet program outweigh any deficits in math (and dh is an engineer so can tutor on math and science at home).

As with every school -- it's not that the curriculum is different from school to school, but teacher ability certainly varies. If the math teachers at Eastern are not great (and I have no way to judge yet) that would be concerning but not surprising.[/quote]

No. Same math at Eastern that you would get anywhere.  Same range of math teachers - some ok, some so-so.  None that I would complain about.  You need to make sure your child is slotted into the right 6th grade math (IM) to get to algebra and geometry.

My children went to Eastern's humanities magnet and one went to the Blair Math magnet afterwards.  It's no worse than anywhere else.  It won't make or break your math 'career'.  Just don't use a calculator!

I've never heard of someone complaining that Eastern had a lack of diversity, but there is always a first!
