[quote=Anonymous]Magruder high school can be a great experience but you have to be strategic.  Most of the high achieving kids live in neighborhoods that feed into Candlewood ES or Sequoyah ES.  These are strong cohorts of relatively high achieving peer groups that maintain strong bonds into Shady Grove MS and Magruder HS.   Mill Creek Towne ES benefits from having the gifted and talented program, but many students in the gen Ed programs there can struggle a bit.  Avoid Flower Hill ES.

At Shady Grove MS, push to get into the global humanities program.  At Magruder push to get into the PEAC program.  Again this will help to maintain strong sense of high achieving co-Horts. The lower achieving students will have less interaction with these students.

I am generalizing, but most posters here have very little experience with the Magruder area.

I live in Derwood and teach in the schools here.  My kids have been very happy.  I enjoy the nice mix of trees lots, affordability and easy access to the Rockville and Gaithersburg.[/quote]
