[quote=Anonymous]As new parents, I wouldn't get too hung up on what the current magnet or gifted programs are at the Takoma Park schools--it's just too far down the road, and things change. See which area you like better, especially looking at what you can get for your money. You posted in the MCPS forum, so there's a lot of responses about the Takoma Park schools and very little on the DC schools you're looking at. A PP is spot on that the TPES feeds directly to PBES, there's no change in student population. MCPS generally is not great at teaching reading in the early grades, including at TPES, but it doesn't show up in test scores until third grade and the kids are at PBES. TPES and PBES are big schools, with 9-10 classes per grade, which can be hard when kids end up not having friends from their prior class in their current class. Blair is also huge. I'm not sure how all that compares with the DC schools you're looking at. [/quote]
