[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, there’s a whole thread right now worrying that the regional magnets will be watered down because they will allegedly admit students by a lottery of only moderately qualified applicants: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/105/1317129.page And yet this thread claims there will be a major brain drain from the other schools. So both of these worries can’t be true.[/quote] No, they actually go hand in hand. If the regional programs were only enrolling the top 2-3% of kids, there would still be plenty of kids at home schools who are interested in and can succeed in advanced classes. But since they're set to instead enroll the top 10-15% of kids, that simultaneously leads both to a less rigorous experience in the magnet programs than there currently is, and a less rigorous experience at the home schools who have lost the top 10-15% of their students.
