[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academically advanced kids are typically most respected during elementary school. The will be high status in middle and HS only if they get into one of the magnets. Even that is far from a guarantee but it helps. Middle school is the worst.[/quote] My kids chose not to apply to middle school and high school magnets because they were zoned for schools with enough high achievers to be a good cohort for them. Middle school was surprisingly better than I expected based on my own experiences, and they had good high school experiences. I think experiences can be very school-dependent. In some cases, the magnet might be the way to find peers, but it's not always necessary.[/quote]
