[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't the TPES program set up to provide a good peer group for those very bright kids in the lower SES areas? If you're in Chevy Chase, Potomac, Bethesda you will have this at your neighborhood school.[/quote] I don't know the origin, but there are good peer groups even at low SES schools. Pulling 1 or 2 kids (usually high income white kids) out of those schools doesn't change the social dynamic at the home schools, where, again, there are still cadres of bright, high achieving, motivated, kids with supportive parents. I think the TPES magnet has become something different from what it was originally intended to be. I mean, it's great for the kids zoned for TPES, but I don't see it offering much to the broader MCPS community and I'm not sure it should be counted as one of the real magnet programs for the district.
