[quote=Anonymous]I feel these issues should not be generalized. Every child not the same and situations vary greatly. Have 2 kids who chose magnet school route. Would likely stand out more in local school but the higher level expectations and peers are impactful to their learning. There is no one size fits all path to success. Even success is subjective and defined differently by people. If a kid wants top college and is not likely to standout against the really high achieving kids, I do think it is worth considering to stay away from the highly competitive magnets. Pretty clear that geographic diversity is an issue considered by college admissions. It is even considered in magnet ms and hs selection. [/quote]
