[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let us say if some one from CES with MAP-R and MAP-P 270's were to move to VA for 6th grade, what kind of program rigor can we expect? Due to the lottery system now, did not get into any of the regional or consortium programs. Local school is at the bottom of the ranking list and is not an option[/quote]

I'm one of the earlier posters, and my daughter was in this situation. As a rising 6th grader, we weren't yet sure we'd qualify for the VA, and so we asked her home school whether she could go into Algebra 1. They refused. I was so relieved when the VA switched her to Algebra in the first week of school without so much as a raised eyebrow! Since she was also in her 6th year of violin, she was placed in advanced orchestra.

Truthfully, it's all pretty boring and easy for her. But that's not the VA's fault. Her home school would have been even worse, since they refused to accelerate her.

MCPS really needs to expand magnet seating AND do away with that unfair lottery. To keep life interesting, my daughter belongs to an online community of writers and artists, where she's more challenged, and she plays in an audition-based orchestra and chamber group. It'll get better when she's in high school - either she'll be in a magnet program, or she can do a ton of AP classes.

Thank you for sharing helpful information. Online community of writers and artists sound really interesting. Would you mind sharing some info on how to join the group? My DC is both a good writer as well as an artist. Art is her passion and does take classes in painting[/quote]
