[quote=Anonymous]We are leaning towards no magnet, for 3 reasons: 1. Magnets are only pointy in a set of disciplines, not all of them. DD likes science and math, but also loves writing and the humanities. Since we are already in a great school cluster, we're leery of changing to a magnet in a school that perhaps won't have the same level of peers at the non-magnet level. 2. DD wants to stay with her best friend in high school, who is definitely not going to the magnet. 3. There is no college boost to attending a magnet. You attend because you want to specialize in those classes. [/quote]
