[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RIP to the magnet program as we once knew it.[/quote]

Yadda yadda yadda. You do realize that somebody has been saying this every year ... for years?

And now the data proves it too. Go find the students who reached the National level Mathcounts team in 2021. Traditionally, students from Takoma Park and Roberto Clemente represented in Mathcounts national team. In 2021, there were two students from Robert Frost, one from Hoover and only one from Takoma Park Middle School. 
RIP magnet program! [/quote]

I've never understood the argument that the Magnets Are Dead because kids who engage in competition math are now distributed among other schools. To me, that says that they are still getting a strong math education outside the magnet, and that the new system of creating "cohorts" of high achieving kids is working.

Agree to an extent. This a non-issue. The kids who take part in competitive math competitions and do well receive math enrichment outside of mcps. They wouldn't gain much from magnet math classes anyway.
