My son is at Eastern. After school, he takes the shuttle from Eastern to Blair. From Blair, its about 45 minutes to CCES. He arrives at CCES around 3:50-4P.
The morning bus is absurd. He would have to be at CCES at 6:20A or so, and would arrive at Eastern 30 minutes before school starts. I don't think that is really transportation. We carpool in the morning, and I think most others do too. When we tried the morning bus a few times last year, there was only one other MS magnet student at CCES. However, there are quite a few Eastern and TPMS students on the afternoon bus.

I agree. Also, many parents carpool - once your child is admitted, it is generally easy to coordinate w/other parents for alternate transportation.

Three of my children have gone through the TMPS magnet and it is a fabulous program. Well worth the additional logistics.

DC is at HGC now and we think the Takoma Park MS magnet would be a good fit, but we're concerned about the length of the bus ride. Home school is Somerset, so the local MS option is Westland. If you have a child at TP now, and your home school is Somerset or nearby (Westbrook, Wood Acres, CC, etc.), how long is your child on the bus each way? TIA.
