And then TJ. And if your kid doesn't get into TJ, then forget it. It's the best high school around. Anything else is second best.

Yuck. Please go to your neighborhood public.

Why "yuck"? Why the anti-intellectualism?

Looking for the most intellectual middle school isn't intellectualism.

It's yucky.

So looking for a weak curriculum is intellectualism? Either there is substantive curriculum and pedagogical goals or there aren't. I dont see the moral failing in trying to identify those schools or school curricula that achieve this in the real world.

Not true. Look at your kid’s report card and see the weight for taking FL or algebra, geometry, etc. if your child didn’t take these classes, please don’t speak about things you don’t know about.

Yes, they call the advanced classes “honors” at TPMS

There are no honors classes in mcps middle schools.

Most people are looking for a more well-rounded middle school experience so pick something different....

MCDP magnets require kids to attend honors classes in the non-magnet subjects. So kids in the Takoma science magnet take honors English, language, etc.

If you are simply looking for advanced classes and that's the only factor, probably MCPS magnet middles are your best bet.
