[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all!

I am so confused now. The media classes sound very interesting.  The Science part is the only thing making me doubtful about MLK.

If DC wants to get into Poolesville SMCS, would the not up to the mark Science classes be a hindrance? Will we need outside supplementation? We have never done that before but should I consider it? I don't know what outside resources are there yet.

DC is not an only child. DC has a sibling who wants to go to Parkland for the Aerospace and Robotics. I am not sure how that will work out if one is going up county and one down county.

Don’t choose Parkland for that.   Many middle schools have robotics now.  Parkland is more general STEM based rather than anything truly aerospace.   Students take more science classes, but they aren’t vastly different than what you  take in any other school.  They name them differently and condense things, but it’s the same education and the same curriculum as all other MCPS schools.  Parkland isn’t a criteria-program. Anyone can take any science class they want, but most students who attend are from local neighborhoods and attend Kennedy, Wheaton, and Northwood upon high school.   Not as many will be in any specialized programs.   Parkland is not a bad school in any way, but its location and actual rigor may be a significant consideration in regard to high school choice and where DC would fit best.  It also gets tiring over time making that commute!  [/quote]
