[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for insight on DCC high schools. Both dh and I commute to DC and love the communities in the silver Spring neighborhoods. For high schools, is it like DC where students don’t usually get a top lottery choice in DCC schools or is there more room in the programs for all students? I’m nervous my kids would be forced to go to neighborhood school even if that is their last choice.[/quote] Sorry, it's very competitive to get into the magnets. If you are nervous you should definitely make a plan to move to a home school you'd be happy with. [/quote] I think PP was talking about the consortium lottery. MCPS advertises that most kids get their first or second choices, but most Blair kids choose Blair and that's the biggest school, so I'm not sure how that skews the numbers. [/quote] Thanks. Our kids are young so I had just assumed when people talk about getting in different schools in high school in the DCC they meant magnet programs. Didn’t realize there was another option but that makes total sense. [/quote]
