[quote=Anonymous]Another Pyle family here.  We decided no on the magnets because of the travel time.  DC1 now in HS wonders what was missed.  DC2 zero regrets about staying at Pyle. If they'd been more comfortable on the local bus it wouldn't have been such a big stretch to use combo of MCPS buses and longstanding area parental car pool.  When we looked at it the buses always first went to Blair, then on to the magnets.  Arrgh.   There's the list of initial offers and then there is the list of actual attendees.  The actual attendee list ends up strongly shifting towards geographical proximity to the schools.    We do know Pyle zoned families that happily make it work - some of those continue to Blair.  A small number of Pyle students make it into the HS magnets.  Another issue for us though was that the core of the TPMS/Eastern magnet cohort goes on to Blair.  For our DCs starting over socially back at home HS in 9th was  not likely to be a good route.  So would we plan to bus/car commute from 6th-12th? No.  YMMV[/quote]
