[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realistically, though, who can move around the county so easily to pick which magnet their kids "might" be able to attend?  What's the acceptance rate at each, anyway?  I thought both were very hard to get into. [/quote]

You don't have to move around.  MCPS will move you around to [b]certain[/b] programs.

Yes, they are hard to get into and benefit only certain kids.  The local high school can often accommodate a child better.  It is all a matter of best fit.  [/quote]

I don't understand though. I thought you have to live upcounty to get into Poolesville STEM and down county to go to Blair. Are you saying a kid living in Silver Spring can somehow get into Poolesville?[/quote]

From MCPS: [b]The Global Ecology House is open to applicants from any high school cluster in the county. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in Algebra 1 or higher by Grade 8.[/b]  Same for the Blair Magnet and I think the RM IB program.[/quote]
