[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Magnet middle school in MOCo sounds too scary. They using smart kids to bus them into magnet programs in bad schools to bring up the rating. That’s so bad. Better to stay in your own home middle school in a competitive area where there’s a peer group . They don’t do this shit in other states. If u live in a good high tax area then the elementary school, MS and high schools should be good.... this is the case in NJ.[/quote] I think parents are realizing this more now, especially with the cohort criteria that MCPS implemented two years ago. MS Magnets truly used to be super high achieving kids from all over the county. So it was ‘worth it’ to send your kid there. But now, that is not the case. We know of many families who did choose the CES for ES but then adamantly declined the MS Magnet admission. Agree that it is a strange setup in MoCo. But MCPS is an incredibly dysfunctional school system, unfortunately. [/quote]
