[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Across the 3 schools, there are roughly 1,000-1200 kids being served by the magnets. Someone else mentioned there are 55k HS students so it’s serving 2.18% of the population (1200/55k). MCPS is short on funding. It sucks if your kid is one of the 2%. However the money can be spent serving a broader spectrum of students. MCPS is paying for DE classes at MC. The opportunities for the academically gifted students are there. There’s even bus service from the local HS to the MC campuses. I agree it’s not a great solution but it does reallocate funding to where the majority of students can access it.[/quote] What are the “3 schools” you refer to? There are about 6-7 percent or more in advanced programs across many more than three schools, currently.[/quote] I'm assuming PP is talking about Poolesville, Blair, and RMIB. Which are the only programs certain folks recognize as truly competitive or worth attending. [/quote]
