Based on what? How can I advocate for my DC? He was 1 point off on his map r for Eastern lottery.

Based on whatever factors they think are relevant. At our school, which is low FARMs, they pull in kids with a high National percentile who missed the lottery. Really depends on the school. You should call your school and ask the counselor.

We only have global humanities at TPMS (not magnet). What’s the other option?

The idea is that teachers give different assignments, instruction, support, and enrichment all in the same class depending on ability. The reality is that it’s impossible to do that when you have kids who are two grade levels above and two grade levels below in the same class.

Can you elaborate? How do the teachers differentiate in the classroom?

Pyle, Hoover, and SSIMS, to name a few.

Not true. My DC is at Pyle and not everyone is in HIGH.

It appears to be the only option for next year's 6th graders:

Interesting and probably true for incoming 6th graders. But my current 7th grader is not in Global. Many of his friends with high scores are also not in Global. Not sure how they determined placement.

my kid wasn't enrolled in MCPS when it was time for magnet screening, but they still put him in global humanities (good test scores).

Does anyone know if you can still get placed into global humanities even if you dont make the lottery for Eastern? Anyone know how to go about doing that? Thanks
