[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, for the middle school magnets I believe the county uses a special test developed by Pearson, possibly even developed just for MoCo although I'm not sure about that. At least this was the case a few years ago. I agree with the PP who said that the curriculum is close to what kids in other schools are doing in MoCo. For example, in 7th grade the TPMS magnet kids do Algebra, which lots of 7th grade kids in other MoCo schools are also doing. At TPMS though, the kids go deeper into the Algebra curriculum. And there's time to throw in extra subjects like field theory, or how to solve the Rubik's cube. There are some kids at TPMS working a year ahead (and Algebra is currently the highest possible subject for 7th grade in the rest of MoCo), but these kids are the exception not the majority.[/quote]
