[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want your kids in the MS magnet you have to put that into motion by late Fall 5th grade - so now is the time to contact MCPS and ask how to do that.

We were in the TPMS magnet (at the time it was not a lottery after the 1st cut like it is now) and I don't think we would have been happy at TPMS without the magnet program. That's no shade to the school or the kids but specific to what our child needed. [/quote]

It's a great program but probably not as significant as some would make out. Yes, math and science go a little deeper and move at a faster pace. It's nice that this is an option, but it would be fine in regular classes, too.  My child who went through the program found Spanish to be their hardest class by far.[/quote]

Same re: the Spanish.

I stand by the idea that we wouldn't have been as happy not in the magnet, but part of that is the cohort, which my child really needs to be motivated. Also during the pandemic the teachers and cohort were really strong. Again, non-lottery. [/quote]
