[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-lottery the curriculum was the same but the cohort was more advanced, so the experience was higher-level. Now, it's strong, but more like FCPS AAP mid-tier.

I would think twice about the value of the long bus ride if zoned for CJMS or a similar high-achieving school post-lottery. But it is still early.

Also, the beloved 7th grade science teacher retired, and he provided so much energy and was one of the best parts of the program (also sponsored a club for the whole school). Looks like they're doing fine, but he is so missed. The 8th grade math teacher is known as being one of the best, if not the best, in MCPS. You're just at the beginning. Plenty of time to find positives. [/quote]

I had a kid there before and after the lottery. There were a few more high-fliers before, but it's not much different overall. There are still plenty of very bright kids. I don't know the actual numbers, but since the lottery, the kids that end up there and can't keep up seem to drop out. Mr. G is missed. He was an amazing teacher, and I'm grateful my kids had him.[/quote]
