[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. 12:58 you've put it in great perspective for me in that it's somewhat similar to concepts of college applications, wherein your competition is supposed to be school specific and not county specific. It's *your child's* middle school that you're being compared against, not those of a radically different MCPS MS. Thanks again all for a civilized conversation and food for thought.[/quote] +1 (not PP) Another aspect to the magnets that is often overlooked is that if there are enough high achieving students at their home ES/MS, then those schools can cohort them together and adapt programming to meet their academic needs. That’s why MS now offer some of the advanced courses being taught in the MS magnet (and yes, there are various implementation problems with this.) For schools without enough advanced students to offer certain advanced classes, sending them to a magnet program creates the critical mass to form a class.[/quote] What magnet courses are offered at the local schools?
