Keep in mind it is a lottery if you don't live in bounds.
It is not selective, and 80% of students are inbounds and have no choice but to go there. [b]This means that the 20% remaining are the ones carrying the program in terms of motivation and drive.[/b]
Academically, it is not better or worse than other schools in the area.

We had considered the Parklawn (?) aerospace magnet and decided against it, both for commute and because of the "fluff" factor - one can't do real aerospace engineering without solid knowledge in hard sciences which middle schoolers in MCPS do not have. It seems to me these magnets are [b]geared toward average students who need special motivation to apply themselves at school.[/b][/quote]

Oh dear God. Please stop.

OP, if you're interested, please talk to parents who actually have kids enrolled in the school, not those who make sweeping generalizations and have no actual connection to the school you (and your DC) are interested in.[/quote]

Calm down, PP. I'm analyzing facts. Not a fan of these supposed "magnets". I wish they were selective, and then they would be worth something.

NP-- those are not FACTS. Unless you have kids at Parklawn or Loiderman, keep your opinion to yourself.[/quote]
