[quote=Anonymous]The programs are “magnets” to attract the right kind of kids to attend schools that serve communities that the tidal demographic shifts make unappealing to many upper income individuals. They hoped for cross pollination would allow test scores to prop up the perception gap that keep the middle class away for the areas too. When rich leave the perception of a place drops and then the middle class leave and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of decline. All of that said I don’t think the magnet program did is much to hold off white flight as the run up on close in suburbs over the last 20 years. Middle income whites are being priced out too.[/quote]
