I've heard good thing and yes, very diverse. Only potential downside is increasingly large grade levels (over 200).

Pardon me - a magnet program. My mistake.

I have heard very good things about this magnet program from children that applied from out of neighborhood.

TPES does not house a "gifted program". They are considered a magnet school with some (about 15 per class in grades 1-2) out of the area kids who test into and are then lottery chosen. However, all the kids at the school are afforded opportunity for enrichment as needed.

Plus, Takoma Park Elementary School houses a gifted program, so if your child is admitted, then the commute is much less burdensome. TPMS has the magnet Math/Science program which is supposed to be great.

We've been through Piney Branch ES, Takoma Park MS, and now Blair. You will never regret moving to Takoma Park.
