Looks like your kid will be assigned to a school where there is space available.

Thank you. We hope to settle on the house early August and due to return from Guam mid September. I am hoping to be able to access the virtual academy so the kids won't be too behind with missing the first two weeks of school. Fingers crossed that our home belongings will be delivered on time.

Parkland has a rep as being the best academically of the three schools. They get about 100 out of consortia students to join the whole school magnet program. So this brings up the number of more serious students. They have two STEM electives per day. If you kid likes STEM projects they will probably be happy.

There is the consortium of three schools and its a lettoery you do in the spring.

Does anyone have experience with Parkland MS. When I put our address into the school finder this school comes up as our neighborhood school. It looks like we may have a choice of two others. However, it's late in the game so I don't see us having a choice.
Thanks,
