Choose Success! The Middle School Magnet Consortium (MSMC) is made up of three schools -- Argyle, Loiederman, and Parkland middle schools -- each of which offers an innovative and challenging magnet curriculum. Argyle focuses on advanced information technology; Loiederman offers a creative and performing arts focus; and Parkland provides students the opportunity to explore math and science through aerospace technology and robotic engineering.
Admission is based upon a Choice process open to all Montgomery County students who are currently in Grade 5. See Choice Process for details. Interested parents are invited to attend one of six October/November information meetings to learn more about the three magnet schools.

Parents of students living in the Middle School Magnet Consortium area who would like their child to attend a middle school outside of the Consortium should contact their child's current school counselor. Requests for out-of-area student transfers must follow the MCPS transfer policy. The MCPS official "transfer season" is from February 1 through April 1. Decisions on transfer requests are made after April 1. Therefore, all Consortium students should have submitted a Choice form.
