[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter got in to both and we have decided not to send her.  She wasn't very interested in attending either program.  She would miss her friends, commuting times would conflict with some of her  sporting activities and [b]we are in the "Ws"  cluster so there are plenty of educational opportunities[/b].   We don't see it as a missed opportunity and it will allow a child who is more interested in the magnet program to attend.

As for my daughter's scores,  I do not know them off the top of my head.  She does very well on the testing.  My spouse has a PhD in applied mathematics so there are some genetics in play.  [/quote]

I am a W parent with a kid at Whitman and another who went to TPMS and is now at Blair SMCS, and I can assure you that they do not compare.  It is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a missed opportunity.

[b]But you keep telling yourself that a W school is the same thing[/b].[/quote]

I am from W cluster w/ kids who went to Eastern and TPMS, and I agree that nothing that Pyle, Westland, N. Bethesda, Tilden or any of the W school MS offerings compare in any way.  At Eastern you are writing IDRP and getting very high level of reading and writing (many of same readings/analysis done in AP Lang). and in TPMS math you are getting more math than just 1 year above grade level - some Alg II concepts in Alg 1 and much more math reasoning and derivation overall.

DP: I don't think that poster (congratulations to your DD) is saying it is the same thing ...
