[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magnets are mainly for bragging rights. Being able today things like “ offered a spot” Your smart kid will be fine at Pyle. Their social like matters too so much at this age, if he’s quickly but has a group of friends I would prioritize that. [/quote] We are a family that is not interested in bragging rights. The magnet at Eastern was a life changing experience for our DC. It stoked her intellectual curiosity. The friends she made there have been lifelong. She learned to write in a way that was critical to her success in HS, college and grad school. The writing instruction at Eastern is at a level above that offered in any MCPS middle school and all but the IB HS programs. Eastern is a unique opportunity. As long as your kid likes history and reading, and has an open mind in terms of racial and socioeconomic diversity, it will be a good experience. Bus is long but kids socialize, have down time or do homework. Will your kid be OK at Pyle? Yes, of course. [/quote]
