[quote=Anonymous]We are on the fence at my house. Kid is in 8th grade at a private that goes through 12 so we don’t need to wait for admissions. From what I can tell, the magnet has more variety in STEM courses and he could spend a larger portion of his day on STEM which is what he loves. STEM extracurriculars are also stronger. Magnet also is closer to home, and has more diversity. Private has higher quality instruction in humanities, particularly writing. Kid spontaneously does a lot of STEM but doesn’t read or write much unless pushed. Kid’s other parent also worries about safety in public. I don’t but obviously Dad gets a vote too. Not worried about college, I figure it will work itself out. [/quote]
