[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids went through TKPK schools here's the low down.

TPES (K-2) had the only ES magnet in MCPS. They still have enriched math unlike other ES in the county.  It is a focus school so class sizes can run as low as 16 students but are more often 18-20.

PBES (3-6) has a local CES also a fine school. If you go by GS ratings it's a 10 for my kid's demographic cohort which is to say anyone can get a great education there.

TPMS (6-8) hosts the county's STEM magnet program. There is an in-boudnary set aside of 25 seats for the magnet.  I think the school has a rating of 10/10 for test score averages but not sure that matters. It also offers the enriched classes like all other MCPS MS.

Blair (9-12) the largest HS in the county. It is also very diverse in a balanced way. It hosts the HS STEM magnet and CAP. You also can do great there just taking APs. Given its size, there's a lot of opportunities to find your niche. Bethesda Beat has a list of college admissions from local HSs. Blair does well. It also often wins things like "It's Academic" for the region and has students in both the US Math and Physics Olympiad.   [/quote]

This is all quite helpful. What do average class sizes look like for PBES, TPMS, and Blair?[/quote]
