[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MLK sets kids up well for Humanities at Poolesville (almost like a third of PHS humanities also did MLK humanities), but also for other programs. There are a lot of MLK kids in Global and SMCS at PHS too. They do offer buses to convenient bus stops even if the length of the ride is annoying.

MLK does have the fighting and vaping/drug problem but Humanities is a bit sheltered from that. The academics were great, the media elective every year may suck for kids who are devoted to orchestra/band but it was the highlight of 8th grade.

The main pros are the academics and tight knit friends. Cons would be meh science (math is fine) and fighting.[/quote]

Thanks!

Is the fighting generally among the non magnet kids? What are the media electives each year? When you say 8th grade was great, did you mean they band/orchestra in 8th grade?

Their presentation also showed some enactments of civilizations. Was that all it is hyped up to be?

At lunch, was there any fighting/bullying of the nerdy kids?

How diverse is the magnet crowd?[/quote]

There is one media class required each year.
There is fighting and bullying of nerdy kids in every school.[/quote]

I understand but am just wondering if magnet kids are targeted or anything like that. [/quote]
MS fighting tends to be among neighborhood kids who bring their neighborhood beefs to school. (Happens at all MS). Kids are very myopic and really only know other kids in their classes. Since the magnet kids are mostly in their own classes, there’s not much mixing of groups except during PE.

Magnet kids are more likely to be bullied or excluded by other magnet kids (which does happen.)[/quote]
