[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're looking to  move out of DC and considering both of these catchments.  I'm trying to catch up on the rezoning and closure of SSIMS issues but it's difficult to see how this cashes out for someone (perhaps stupidly) trying to make a decision now.  My kid is going into 6th next year so would be done with MS by June 2029.  She's creative - loves art, theatre, music, community activism, and we want her to take French as a second language (but it would be completely new to her).  Good grade level student in ELA and math; she's a hard worker but isn't going to be the type to be pulled out into an advanced program.  I wonder how much boundary/closure issues will take away what my reading suggests are the good parts of SSIMS (particularly community).  I also worry about how it feels to attend TPMS as a non-magnet kid.  Also trying to understand the differences in the academic schedules and electives offered but the websites are terrible and basically useless.  Any thoughts on how you'd handle this choice?[/quote]

The superintendent has been temporarily stopped from quickly closing SSIMS but I'll bet he will still make his deadline of 2030. He is stripping the student population down to less than 600 students. Teachers will be leaving in search of a more secure position. Great principal at SSIMS - a school that deserves much better than Taylor is giving it.

If you go with TPMS, get a house outside the city of Takoma Park to save yourself thousands in annual municipal property taxes.[/quote]
