[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen this concept surface in a couple of threads now--to my knowledge there isn't one, has there been serious discussion of such a school--such as a test-in or selective application math science magnet or test in humanities magnet school? seems like it would make a lot of sense and there is demand. And there are ways you could ensure some representation from less-good schools to try to address the disparities that would arise because some kids don't have the same elementary school education.

[b]From my experience trying to identify potential at 5th grade is less inequitable than at high school. By that time it is way too late, a basically smart kid has a way tougher time overcoming the substantive gap that the lack of a strong middle school education leads to.[/b]

It doesn't seem to be a problem in NYC or in Fairfax County. Students test-in for the top schools like Stuyvesant or in FCPS for TJ.
