[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is a lot of great info. to mull over. We went to both open houses as well. We'll be applying to the magnets. I personally feel that if he were lucky enough to get selected for Wheaton Biomedical or Engineering, it would be worth the transportation hassle. We still have to weigh whether he feels it's worth it for the Wheaton academies.

I hadn't thought about the fact that having a shorter day at Wheaton (when compared to SMCS) would also mean fewer classes, less possible exploration of interests, etc. In the end, the transportation piece might determine our DCC preference list as the rest of our family works or attends school super far from Wheaton.

Just remember even if MCPS provides a bus to and from school the commute may be very long and its not going to be available for a lot of the sports and after school activities so you can still be driving back and forth a lot.  You don't need to do the academies to have access to a lot of the classes.[/quote]
