[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the kids going to Madison from TMS seem to be well prepared for the writing and work load? [/quote] I think you are over-estimating how prepared one needs to be for honors classes at Madison. Seriously. My child was in honors at TMS. She is prepared just fine for honors classes at Madison. It's not some wildly advanced curriculum. Yes, it is high school, but the teachers understand that they are teaching 14 and 15 yr olds.... so they teach them what they expect them to do/know in class. There isn't some secret magic that the AAP kids get (at TMS or LJ) that dooms the non-AAP kids from getting A's in honors classes at Madison. If your kid wants to get good grades at Madison, he or she will put in the effort to do what the teacher asks, and will get good grades. This whole idea that some middle schools prepare you for Madison (or any FCPS high school) and some do not, is just silly. [/quote]
