[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP since you're leaning towards Parkland I think if your child goes there they would be eligible to apply for all the DCC magnets for high school. That opens up a huge number of possibilities including the two Wheaton engineering programs if you're looking at stem. you would be in a really rare position to have access to all the DCC offerings plus all the ones up county.

Agree, but if you live in the Gaithersburg area, that’s a hardcore commitment to 7 years of commuting pretty far, not just for school events, but every time your kid needs to get together with classmates to work on projects or even just to hang out with friends. We live in Gaithersburg DD’s MLK/Poolesville friends mean lots of trips to Germantown and Clarksburg. I guess you’d just make lots of trips to Silver Spring and Bethesda instead, so not that different, but the distance complicates things like doctors appointments too.

The world language issue isn’t that big of a deal if you choose MLK. THE 3 years in middle school don’t have to go on a high school transcript. It’s your choice. Your dc could take French in middle school and sign language in high school.[/quote]

How often do the kids need to meet up? I never considered that. Meet up at Germantown and Clarksburg will definitely be more convenient.[/quote]

It definitely depends on the friend group, but maybe like a few times a month? It sucks to live far away from friends, so that in addition to convenience would be another reason to choose the closer option.[/quote]

Thank you! These meetups are for classwork or just socialization with friends? I asked around and no one from our school is going to either of these schools so making friends would be important too for my kid. [/quote]
