[quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting to read the responses about the local enriched classes. I have a 99%’er (national and mcps norms) currently getting all As in sixth grade at a magnet middle, and I still wonder about whether the home middle would have been a viable option. I think socially the magnet is a better fit and my kid is really enjoying the curriculum and class work and discussions, but there are significant trade offs with the long and early bus ride (&gt;1 hour each way), as well as significant amounts of homework (so far, a minimum of 1 hour and often more like 2 or more hours every day, including weekends). A good cohort and good enriched classes at the local school could be an attractive option, but our local middle ranks very low in the cohort criteria (judging from the data gathered in the field test), and my kid doesn’t have any friends there anyway (went to a regional CES and friends from 5th grade and other activities are all scattered at other schools, but there are good friends at the magnet with my kid).
