[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would prefer magnets for my kids. "Good" ms/HS in mcps = wealthy. I'd prefer my children to be in a different environment.[/quote] I think that the students in the test-in magnets are probably wealthier, as a group, than the typical MCPS students. 8th graders at Roberto Clemente go to New York (humanities) and Boston (math/science) for a week. The Boston field trip costs close to $900.[/quote] Not sure that is true at our HGC. The kids are definitely wealthier in general than the kids in the same school who are not in the HGC but the students are more economically diverse than a school in Bethesda (and there are students in the HGC who are low income). In addition, the kids are in a less wealthy school environment. Also, Eastern and Takoma Park schools as a whole are generally more economically diverse than schools in the wealthier parts of the county. [/quote]
