Criteria Magnets

Anonymous wrote:Can someone give a definition of a criteria magnet under the new regional plan. Is it:

A) For each criteria magnet type (STEM, humanities, etc.) the county will establish a well defined and known to public criteria what it takes to get in (some combination of GPA, MAP scores, i.e. quantitative measures) and every kid that meets such criteria automatically qualifies to enroll for that specific magnet and region

or

B) Something like Blair magnet or RBIM today where the process is not transparent and nothing is guaranteed - send us your credentials and we will call you (or maybe not)

or

C) Something else

Criteria programs from a region with high achieving schools will be more rigorous and competitive. Others, not so much. Look to west county for consistent rigor.

This. So Blair will be just a shell of what it is now.

Kinda like how TPMS has been watered down since they changed admissions standards a few years ago.
