[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]TPES is not a magnet-- a magnet is thus named because it draws kids from elsewhere. It is a "gifted" program or whatever you want to call it, though, for kids in zone.[/quote] Up until three years ago, TPES did draw kids from outside the zone. It was the only primary (1st and 2nd) grade magnet in MCPS. That program was quietly shuttered but in-bounds kids still get some math acceleration as compared to K-2 kids outside the TPES zone. [/quote] Right-- it just isn't anymore. [/quote] +1 TPES/PBES/TPMS/Blair does have it's supporters, but MCPS watered down the Magnet program so it's not the best-of-the-best anymore. PBES also had a number of issues in recent years, so needs a clean-up. There are other schools that I would argue are just as good or better (if you don't like Great Schools, check U.S. News, SchoolDigger, Niche, Patch, Publicschoolview...). [/quote]
