[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That post says explicitly that it may depend on the local middle school that you are comparing the magnet to but the point which you seem to have missed is that they are not that unique and special in the county. You can have a great enriched program locally which is what MCPS should aim to be doing for all the highly able students.[/quote]

No, I’m not communicating well.
What I’m trying to say is that schools with a strong cohort can provide great enrichment but that there are many schools that don’t have that. The principals don’t care and there are only a few kids eligible for the enriched classes. They get little to nothing. Therefore, the magnet classes look amazing. I also concur with the PP that some enrichment, like CTY, pales in comparison to the depth and challenge of the middle school magnet classes. They really are great.

Totally agree that local and quality enrichment is the main goal. But the magnets provide an important function for students who don’t have a strong home school.
