[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]on the comment on the ruined regional CES....  keep in mind that is now not an option for some as there is a home school CES option now at many schools.

Also same for Middle school.  [b]MCPS took away the regional option[/b] because of local options and peer group.  And believe me they are no where near the same.   I know because I have had kids in both programs. [/quote]

No, it's still there.[/quote]

+1  PP's post is rife with confusion and disinformation.

There are still regional CES programs. I know because I have a child in one. However, in larger elementary schools (like Piney Branch) with many capable kids, MCPS has opened local CES programs. This has increased the number of kids served by the program, and is generally good news all around because it frees up more spots for kids from smaller elementary schools in the regional programs.

There is no cohort criteria for CES admission, unless your local elementary has a CES program of its own.

There IS a cohort criteria for middle school magnets, but the county has compensated by ostensibly increasing enrichment opportunities at home schools with a large number of capable students. [/quote]
