[quote=Anonymous]The bonus of Loiederman is they let kids start Algebra in 6th.  In realty a smart kid will be fine anywhere.  Beyond that it's the same as any other school and very teacher dependent.  We had good and bad teachers, the same as any other school.  The kids are only tracked in math.  The theater program is very competitive and generally only the favorite or 8th graders get the good parts in less your child is exceptional.  Most of the dance kids are doing it for fun, and good for them, but you aren't going to find the high level kids there.  Same with music.  You are better off at your home school.  Last year a bunch of kids transferred out back to their home schools.  The higher performance kids are in private groups, private lessons, and are generally at the schools with parents with higher incomes as those are the families that can afford it.  They use the magnet to get the high performing academic kids in to raise their test scores but they really don't offer them much beyond accelerated math.  If you are close by in the consortium, it would make sense to choose it, but otherwise its not worth the commute and no huge advantage.[/quote]
