[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP... I don't want to identify myself any further due to there are probably not a lot of kids that would transfer from private to public magnet MS next year.  At the moment, I am thinking of having her apply and then we will see what happens.  She's definitely in the competitive range given her test scores- but who knows.  She could have a bad day, the day of the real test.[/quote]

I'm the PP.  I did not mean for you to identify the school your child was in, just pointing out that if you are looking to compare private schools to the middle school magnets, there are probably only a handful of private schools that are comparable.  You will get the regular MCPS Math and Science curriculum at Eastern (but a higher proportion of advanced learners in these subjects) and the regular MCPS English and Social Studies curriculum at Takoma Park.  Takoma Park is a great school overall, Eastern is, as a PP put it a little rough around the edges and the facility could use refurbishment!  The peer group would be great for your child in both schools.  I think you are wise to have her try out - you have many months before you need to make a decision about whether or not to send her.  We definitely agonized over the decision but now that he is there, we can't imagine a better place for him.  [/quote]
