If you really cared about your child's education, you'd live in bounds @TPMS. [/quote]

How does living in bounds guarantee you a Magnet spot?

Also, not everyone can afford TP.  [/quote]

It doesn't *guarantee* it. But there are a certain number of seats in the TPMS magnet program for students zoned for TPMS. Or so I've read on DCUM.:-)[/quote]

Yes, there are 20 or so seats reserved for kids who are in-bounds for TPMS, so kids zoned for TPES/PBES or ESS elementary schools. So 120 kids enter the magnet each year, some of whom are benefiting from being in-bounds for the school.

It's a little bit of a historical quirk, I think, but it is great for those living in the neighborhood and does actually open up more seats to the rest of the county. [/quote]

There were seats reserved for kids who are zoned for Roberto Clemente MS, too. I don't know if that transferred to MLK MS with the upcounty Humanities magnet. But in any case, if you want to really up your kid's chances, you can move to areas zoned for RCMS or MLK MS.[/quote]
