[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had children in both and there is no comparison. TPMS is wonderful for math and science and if your child has aptitude in those areas, it will open doors that the regular middle school cannot.[/quote]

+1. Same experience. DS did magnet the whole way through and by far the most important piece was TPMS. We had a commute and it was absolutely worth it. [/quote]

If your child started 6th grade before 2021-2022 school year, then the experience was very different from this year. [/quote]

That is correct! They don’t accept kids with the highest MAP scores. They accept kids that fall within a range. That range is very different depending upon which elementary school your child attends (high or low FARMs) school. Kids from high farms get into the pool at 230 MAP score in 5th or even lower, whereas higher MAP scores kids if even in the pool are not picked. So there will be a huge difference in kids ability with map scores of 230 and 250 but they are placed in the same program. So this is not the same cohort that it used be.[/quote]
