Which just shows that 50% are not in the top of their class and can not get into Magnet. This is another reason the OP should not leave private. She obviously felt Barnsley was not a good fit for k-3rd. So why risk the chance of going to their middle school if they do not get accepted to Magnet after HGC.  More people apply and want Magnet than HGC and parents are shocked when they realize their kids weren't the most desirable. If I had the money for private and lived in the Barnsley neighborhood, I would never go public. But that is just my opinion. [/quote]

I just looked up where Barnsley is. Now I understand the objection to Barnsley -- it's the "poor brown children = bad school" idea.[/quote]

Really? That's a pretty solid middle-class area.[/quote]

No offense but if it is a solid middle school area why is the FARMS and ESOL so high? Sounds like some middle class and a lot of poverty to me. [/quote]

28% FARMS and 13% ESOL is not "so high". MCPS as a whole is 33% FARMS and 13% ESOL.[/quote]
