[quote=Anonymous]Oh boy. OP - you are coming into this discussion at a really hot point in the conversation, and folks are going to try to "educate" you according to their own biases.

See above about how the CES program has been ruined by the existence of local centers - we are literally one year into the experiment of opening up more "gifted" spots for Grades 4 & 5, and there is no way of knowing whether the decision to increase the number of available spots ruined the program. I'm guessing it did not.

PP is correct that the district has moved away from a "first past the post" system for middle school magnet admissions and toward a "outliers from every school" model. This means that you can be admitted to the middle school magnet with a lower score if you are an outlier in your home school.

At any rate, with a 7 person household, you are going to need to make some choices around where you live totally separate from which elementary school can meet your son's math/science needs. You will also want to be looking at middle and high school feeders, obviously.

If you share a budget, and a general geographic preference, folks can give you some suggestions. [/quote]
