[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sibling lives in MoCo and one her children attends a middle school magnet.  She reports that parents who can afford to generally supplement in a great variety of ways, not so much by hiring tutors, but by paying for enrichment and test prep. Apparently, it's common for MoCo kids in middle school magnets to be extensively prepped for high school magnet entrance tests by private services like "Dr. Li's." Attending a MoCo middle school magnet doesn't guarantee admission to a high school magnet.

What else can we do here in DC but hire tutors/supplement if we don't want to move and don't like BASIS and/or Washington Latin, and don't get a spot at either, or at any other acceptable public middle school?  We're in the 200s on the BASIS 5th grade WL.  I doubt we'll get in.

Stuart Hobson will surely see an uptick in UMC IB enrollment in the coming years, as more in-boundary families strike out in the charter lotteries.  Who knows how great an uptick.[/quote]

I went to a MoCo-like magnet 25 years ago and most of us had tutors even then. [/quote]
