[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Must be a very unusual case where child resides upcounty but applied to, was accepted and attended, a lottery choice magnet like Argyle, Parkland, Loiderman in the DCC for 8th grade. Must have been some commute.[/quote]

The discussion is about high school not MS, and I don't think they open it up for 8th graders but they might as multiple families left last year to return to their home schools from one school.[/quote]

You misunderstood. PP was talking about eligibility for high school places though middle school placement that is different from their home school.[/quote]

Yes that PP is confused.

It's basically unheard of for a student to be eligible to apply to both the Poolesville Humanities magnet and Wheaton Engineering. Poolesville Humanities is limited to certain clusters that are more north like Clarksburg, Gaithersburg whereas Wheaton is limited to applications from certain clusters that are in the downcounty in and around the Silver Spring and Wheaton area.

There is an exception for kids that went to DCC schools are allowed to apply to DCC magnets though. However, a child who is upcounty is not eligible for TPMS and Eastern so they had to be in one of the magnets named above that are not application based. The other possibility is that OP could have originally been in the DCC, moved but had a COSA to remain at the DCC middle school through 8th or moved during 8th and was somehow eligible to apply for everything under the sun.[/quote]
