[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1[b]6:06 is incorrect. Magnet starts in 4th[/b], though as other PPs stated, the criteria for admission are less clear. Acceptance was clearly tied to HGC/CES test scores in the past, and no one knows whether that is still the case under the new evaluation system. My guess is yes, since that is the only truly objective information, in addition to MAP scores, and PARCC scores for middle and up.

Also, differentiation does happen at home schools. Reading and math groups are separated by level. Students in the top level do receive accelerated instruction, even if some schools do this much better than others. An accelerated math track, known as Compacted Math, is an option beginning in 4th at the home school as well. [/quote]
4th, 5th is not Magnet. There's no elementary schools magnet.

This is semantics. The Center for Enrichment Studies, which is 4th and 5th, is a magnet program. It's just broken up into more centers than the 2 that exist at the middle school level. If you go to the MCPS website, the CES is described under the link "Application (Magnet)".[/quote]
If that makes you feel good to say that your snowflake is in "4th grade Magnet ", be my guess. But real Magnet starts in 6th grade in MCPS. [/quote]
DP.. so does that mean that a 6th grader in a real magnet is a snowflake, too?

As the PP stated, in the MCPS website, CES is under ES magnet programs.  I don't know what your problem is with this. Sour grapes?  No, my DC isn't in it.[/quote]
Well my DC is in it, so no sour grapes on my part. But if it makes PP proud to broadcast that her DC is in "ES Magnet ", be my guest .
