Ha ha ha. They choose a location that made sense... For them!  For juicing their test scores of suboptimal host schools, or as you say " improve the schools that house them".   If they made the host school less inconvenient they'd suffer from high uptake and then serve an even smaller percentage of gifted students than they currently do. Then the cat would really be out of the bag on what a tiny HGC magnet program mcps is running (in absentee and relative terms), and how low a priority it is, esp versus fairfax' G&T programs, right across the river...[/quote]

Of course MCPS chose the location that made sense for MCPS. How should they have chosen instead? Should they have chosen the location that makes sense for the people in Bethesda/Potomac/Chevy Chase?[/quote]
They could have put one in the eastern part of the county and one in the western part perhaps.  OR they could have one math and science and one humanities magnet in the east and one of each in the west with the capacity for 75 students in each one for a total of 300 middle school magnet students.  The lower part of the county is densely populated and has a lot of traffic congestion so having both in the same area is not a good solution.[/quote]
