[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has scored very well on magnet prep class practice test.  They rank kids and she is in the competitive range.  My DD currently attends private... I talk with friends and hear mixed things. What says dcurbanmom?[/quote]
I say "magnet prep class"?????  Seriously?
Can you be more specific about the mixed things you are hearing or what your concerns are.  DC is at Eastern and could not be happier.  [/quote]
OP here...
I have friends whose kids have been through the magnet program.  The concern that I have is that the kids are mixed for non core classes with the general population and the school overall is rough.  My DD is not great socially so I'm concerned about the possible transfer.  I have one friend who transferred to magnet middle and says it's better than public but does not rave about it....Another pulled DD out after a short time and back private.  I'd love to try but since I have to get teacher recommendations etc, I really don't want to do this unless I am serious.  I signed my kid up for a magnet prep class more to help her work on vocab and math...so I was surprised at how well she did.  I don't want to give more info on it.  They only want kids through word of mouth.[/quote]
