[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if anyone knows how many kids or what percent of kids end up choosing magnet (either MSMC or Eastern/Takoma Park) vs going to Pyle?

Is Pyle better?

What are the advantages of Eastern or Takoma Park over Pyle? Disadvantages (other than commute and friends)?

Thanks for constructive feedback![/quote]

The answer is very few.
Pyle academics are better than the schools in the MSMC but if your child has a specific interest in the arts or the other concentration areas it may be a good choice.
Pyle academics are inferior by a lot as compared with Eastern and TPMS but only you know if it's worth it for your child.
Pre-lottery there were only two Pyle kids at TPMS in my child's grade. Heard it was only a handful at Eastern too. We know two kids who got into both and one turned down TPMS for Eastern and the other one turned down Eastern for TPMS. Another child got into both and went to Pyle. We don't know anyone else who got in but went to Pyle unless it was from the wait pool.
Since the lottery, I think more kids are turning down the magnets from the Pyle area.[/quote]
