[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MLK sets kids up well for Humanities at Poolesville (almost like a third of PHS humanities also did MLK humanities), but also for other programs. There are a lot of MLK kids in Global and SMCS at PHS too. They do offer buses to convenient bus stops even if the length of the ride is annoying.

MLK does have the fighting and vaping/drug problem but Humanities is a bit sheltered from that. The academics were great, the media elective every year may suck for kids who are devoted to orchestra/band but it was the highlight of 8th grade.

The main pros are the academics and tight knit friends. Cons would be meh science (math is fine) and fighting.[/quote]

Thanks!

Is the fighting generally among the non magnet kids? What are the media electives each year? When you say 8th grade was great, did you mean they band/orchestra in 8th grade?

Their presentation also showed some enactments of civilizations. Was that all it is hyped up to be?

At lunch, was there any fighting/bullying of the nerdy kids?

How diverse is the magnet crowd?[/quote]

Yes, the fighting generally didn’t involve magnet kids and they are not targeted.

“Media” is one class, and it’s the predetermined art elective that all Hum kids (and only them) take instead of band or drawing etc. The 8th grade media projects mostly were filming and editing short films, so they learn how to use equipment and programs, and they can also have fun with friends.

I vaguely know what you’re referring to (Greek day or something?) but a lot of things were canceled due to covid so I can’t speak to that, sorry

When my kid went, it was mostly white and Asian kids with a fair amount of Black kids and few Hispanic kids. Your kid will find their people, there are all kinds of personalities and interests as well. [/quote]
