In Northwest, MC2 kids stay together for all four years; they are all put into the same core classes: math, science, AP government, and english. They won't necessarily be alone; they still attend events at the school.

Why would going to Poolesville HS help you get into a selective college?

And no, Montgomery College is not High School 2.0. Do you know anybody who has attended Montgomery College?

Only the bottome 30% students select MC after HS. Magnets take top 15-20% students in MCPS.

94% of statistics are made-up by trolls on the Internet.

OP my DD is a junior in one of the magnets. It's an incredible experience.

Could you link to a website or something that says this, please?

There is NO [b]link that I am aware of!

I think that there's no link to Northwest MC2 having lottery admissions for non-Northwest students because Northwest MC2 does not have lottery admissions for non-Northwest students.

But with MC2 you can save 2 years of college and $$$$ , saved years can be used for Masters,MBA etc.. 2 years are valuable especially if you want to medical side.

With MC2, you do still have to pay tuition and fees to MC. Which is certainly less than standard college tuition, but isn't nothing.

A whole heck of a lot less.

I'm still confused. It's now Sept. 6. Where have you been this entire first week of school?

The social contexts are very different. Poolesville is an intense cohort experience. MC2 can be isolating once the kids are spending more time at MC and away from Northwest.

Why not just ask your kid?
