[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids at Parkland. My 8th grader is taking Geometry (H.S. class), Spanish 3 A &B (H.S. class), Physics (H.S. class), Engineering (college credit class). The highest level math class is Algebra II. The Engineering class is only available at Parkland and it was developed by Lockheed Martin. Depending on the college/university, you child will either receive a college general ed credit or first level engineering course credit.

So, it is not correct that kids cannot take rigorous math and science here.

I agree that if your zoned MS is not great, then Parkland is a very solid option if you have a science/math geek kid who can handle/wants to take the advanced classes. You can also take astronomy and robotics. My son takes 3 science classes a semester. At his zoned middle school, he would have had the option for only one science class and there was no advanced option.

At Parkland they take the MCPS MS science curriculum and condense it into two years which everyone takes. This frees the kids up to take an advanced science class the third year.

In any case, to the OP question, it is a very simple lottery form, so why not apply as a plan b.[/quote]
