[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing HGC parents should keep in mind when picking middle school is that something like 1/3 of the middle school magnet kids don't get into RMIB, Blair SMAC or CAP or Poolsville.

Of course it is difficult to figure out where your DC stands in such things but, if you know they were near the median scores to get into the HGC and/or had trouble getting As at the HGC and/or when talking to the HGC teachers you can figure out that they are not at the top of at least one subject, then you might want to head to your home MS.

It is much better for most middle schoolers to be at the top of their heap than to need to work really hard to be average.  It can be really painful to work hard for 3 years and then not get into a HS magnet.[/quote]

Agree with all of this.  Also, for JW MS, if you live in the RM cluster, the IB program in RM sets aside certain number of seats for RM cluster kids (they still have to test I believe), like they do with TPMS/Eastern.[/quote]
